Needs From: United Way of Greater Charlottesville

Take photos for the Piedmont Environmental Council to support our mission of protecting the lands and waters of the Virginia Piedmont while creating stronger, more sustainable communities! 

We’re looking for photographers to support our communications team by attending and photographing outreach events, public meetings, and conservation projects.

Prior experience required, intermediate to advanced skill level and experience photographing events preferred. If you’re comfortable recording video as well, that’s a bonus! This volunteer will need to use their own photo equipment. DSLR or mirrorless cameras are preferred, but smart phone cameras can work in a pinch as well. 

Location: Shoots would fall within PEC’s 9-county region (Albemarle, Clarke, Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Loudoun, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock). Opportunities will be offered based on the volunteer's preference and availability to travel.  Volunteers will need their own reliable transportation, but PEC will provide mileage reimbursements for travel.

Time commitment: dependent on your availability.

The Piedmont Environmental Council is looking for someone to help make it easier and more fun to bike in Charlottesville. We've partnered with many local groups to launch BikeCville: a website and a program for casual cyclists who would like to meet other people, learn more about the community and find resources and tips. We need help with social media, outreach, events and more. Having a bike is helpful but not required.
