You do not need to have a lot of birding knowledge to participate on the monitoring support team. SOS-W will teach you. There is an introductory on-line training program for all Sharing Our Shore-Waukegan volunteers. The training covers basic information about the SOS-W program and situations that volunteers may encounter. The program is useful whether you are a new or returning volunteer for the monitoring support team. In the event that Piping Plovers nest there will be additional training for the support team.

• The commitment would likely be 2 hours per shift until the Piping Plover chicks fledge and leave the beach. You can sign up for shifts that work for your availability.
• Monitoring will take place from 6 AM to 6 PM 7 days a week.
