BirdWatch activities are supervised by a Seattle Audubon Staff member and carefully selected and screened volunteers who make sure to foster a casual, fun environment that is supportive and safe for all.

Comments from current and former BirdWatch parents:

"I think this is an absolutely terrific teen program - you've provided a ready-made peer group, great educational and service opportunities, and lovely role models. BirdWatch is varied, active, and very generous. Bravo!"

"BirdWatch is the best thing since feathers! I have seen my daughter ‘bloom’ in the company of wonderful, generous, fascinating people of all ages."

"I am so impressed with the kinds of activities available in this program. My son has grown a lot and learned so much!"

"BirdWatch has been a wonderful, positive, upbeat experience. He does not want to miss a single meeting or trip!"

"The new experiences and opportunities through BirdWatch have been phenomenal. It's so wonderful to have an organization for the teen years that has such a positive influence in our son's life. The volunteer and internship experiences have been especially invaluable."

"Terrific program which will develop teens into adults who are active supporters not only of Seattle Audubon but who also contribute to the greater community as they pursue their careers–inspired by their exposure in BirdWatch."

"My teen benefited by expanding her knowledge of birds and environmental issues and providing a safe, fun place to continue on her path to adulthood."

"I think my son's BirdWatch experience will be a deciding factor in the direction he chooses for his future. Thank you for giving him the great experiences and good memories!"
