To sign up to become a UAS Team member just complete the introduction form.

At the beginning of the each year UAS’ core team comes together for multiple strategy sessions for realignment and refocusing. One of the outcomes for 2008 was a rearrangement of the main teams that UAS consists of. They are now the Development Team, the Outreach Team (made up of Membership, Website, Newsletter and Events Sub-Teams) and the Mapping the Ecology of the Movement (MEM) Team (see the following for details). It’s obvious that there is much energy surrounding UAS and the momentum is picking up at a rapid pace, but Urban Alliance for Sustainability is counting on dedicated sustainability seekers such as yourself to help integrate and inspire the movement like never before!

A more detailed list of current volunteer opportunities can be found here, and in order for UAS to maintain its momentum, our immediate volunteer priority is to get individuals involved in the Mapping Project. Check out www.uas.coop/mem for more info.
We especially need help with:
• Building relationships with organizations and identifying their resources and core needs
• Analyzing data to recognize overlapping efforts/ unrealized relationships
• Facilitating connections
We’re looking for people who have great networking skills and who can help map these connections. Please contact me at volunteer@uas.coop if you’d like more information.

The Urban Alliance for Sustainability is a blossoming young organization and we rely mostly on the efforts of our volunteers to make things run smoothly. Below are some of the volunteer roles we are currently seeking for a few of our functional teams:

The UAS Development Team is responsible for building the structural components of our organization. We are currently looking for volunteers to help with our implementation tasks, including grant writing, non-profit accounting, and communicating the UAS vision to foundations and other grant making agencies. If you are interested in developing our non-profit with strategic well thought out planning, contact dev-team@uas.coop

Join the UAS Events Team and direct your volunteer energy toward planning, promoting, and hosting some of the most fun and synergistic sustainability events in the Bay Area. We host a monthly Green Movie Night, playshops, Open Space Technology events, and other community building events. We also participate in annual events such as the Green Festival. Contact events-team@uas.coop to get started working with our volunteer team.

Writers, editors, creative people, graphic designers, web developers, IT peeps and systems administrators, are all wanted for our UAS Newsletter Team and the UAS Website Team. We are responsible for producing a monthly on-line newsletter, promoting UAS events, maintaining and improving the UAS website, designing and writing print material, and other professional tasks. Send an email to newsletter-team@uas.coop and let us know how you'd like to help out.

We are just now building the UAS Volunteer Coordination Team and are looking for people excited about recruiting new volunteers and helping orient them to UAS' cooperative structure.
