Young Birders Club
Encourage. Educate. Empower.
Shaping the Next Generation of Birders in Florida
The Florida Young Birders Club is a nature-based program that was founded in 2021 and is sponsored by the Florida Ornithological Society (FOS). The founders from Tampa Audubon, Orange Audubon and the St. Johns Regional Audubon chapters decided to work together to reach as many youth throughout Florida as possible. As a result, there are local chapters forming all around the state! Each chapter is sponsored by a local Audubon chapter and supported by adult mentors.
The goals of the club are to encourage, educate and empower youth conservation leaders and to build a community of youth who love birds. We want to bring young birders together and provide mentors for youth who are interested in learning about Florida’s birds, natural history, bird conservation and potential careers involving the natural world.
If you are between the ages of 9 and 17 and interested in birds, you are invited to join our club! We welcome young birders from anywhere in Florida for any of the bird outings or activities. Come learn about Florida’s special birds, their conservation and potential careers in bird conservation!
