Are you interested in learning about astronomy and getting involved in your community at the same time? Or do you have astronomy knowledge or skills that you can share with our Island communities?

If so, please join our network of astronomy enthusiasts by filling out the requested information below. If you can volunteer a bit of your time, it will help support astronomy activities on PEI, including: the Library Telescope Program, the Scopes for Schools Program, and UPEI's public telescope viewings and astronomy outreach.

By joining the network, you will be contacted about volunteer opportunities that match your interests and location. You will be under no obligation to accept volunteer roles that are offered to you.

(Note: individual institutions like schools may require additional screening for volunteers before they can participate in activities; that will have to be worked out between the institution and the volunteer as needed.)
