Sharing Our Shore - Waukegan sponsors educational outreach programs that include indoor classroom visits to local city and community partners and outdoor nature education. During the summer, our events involve working with children and adults, usually in outdoor nature settings like the Waukegan Dunes/Lakefront, or around Waukegan’s many parks. During other times of the year we provide educational presentations for our community partners, the public library, schools and the Waukegan History Museum.

We welcome volunteers with a range of skill sets. Most events only require participation for a few hours. Training is provided for new volunteers.

Some examples of our volunteer projects:

• Represent Sharing Our Shore.- Waukegan at tabling events held at various festivals, concerts and conservation-themed events.

• Provide education to the public about what they can do to protect birds and habitat at the Waukegan lakefront and beach.

• Assist with programs at community partner events like World Migratory Bird Day, Plover Pal Day and programs at the Waukegan Library and Waukegan History Museum at the Carnegie.

• Give guided tours of the Waukegan dunes and lakefront to city and community partners
