Health & Safety Update
The health and safety of our volunteers is of utmost importance. Based on the guidance from the CDC and decisions made with the Hog Island Audubon Staff, we will no longer require volunteers to be vaccinated for COVID-19 or to mask in buildings or vehicles. To protect campers, staff, instructors, and volunteers, strict health and safety guidelines will still be followed if a camper, staff, or volunteer exhibits sickness during their visit to Hog Island.
BEFORE you sign up to be a volunteer, please read Audubon’s Camper Guidelines. These policies are also expected of FOHI volunteers, and are subject to change if necessary. Volunteers will be notified if changes are made.
Forms to complete
The forms below are for the 2023 season. Please do not fill these out for 2024 until your volunteer commitment has been confirmed. Over the course of the next few months, we will be transitioning to electronic volunteer forms for next summer.

We will still accept paper forms next year, but prefer people to use the electronic versions if possible.
