When do I use the opportunities that start with ‘NTX-‘?

First Instance

• You worked at a project which is on the alpha list of opportunities, but the work you did there does not match any of the available subtitles (codes).
• Example: You prepare a program about the Big Spring at Pemberton project and present it at a Sierra Club meeting. This activity would be coded “Educational Talk.” There is no Educational Talk code for the Big Spring project, and we do not have an opportunity called Sierra Club. You would report your volunteer service hours to NTX: Community Presentations. This opportunity is coded for Educational Talks.

Second Instance

• You did work in the “Wildscape and Facility Maintenance,” “Field Research” or “Natural Resource Management” code at a project that is not one of our listed volunteer opportunities. This work must be pre-approved. Send your request to ac********@nt**.org before you go, to make sure your hours will be approved.
• Example: You worked at Oliver Nature Park maintaining a garden and nature trail. This activity would be coded as “Wildscape and Facility Maintenance,” but we do not have an opportunity for Oliver Nature Park. You would report your volunteer service hours to NTX: Other Wildscape and Facility Maintenance.
