RMN Approved Volunteer Opportunities
Virginia Master Naturalist certification requires 40 hours of volunteer service annually. All service projects must be in your local area, approved by the chapter, meet the mission of the program, and be of public benefit rather than personal gain. Service projects generally fall into one of three categories: Education, Stewardship, and Citizen Science.
The following projects have been approved by the Rivanna Chapter. For a brief description of each project, click on the category heading.
