The New York State Young Birders Club (NYSYBC) is a special project of the New York State Ornithological Association (NYSOA).

This club is for birders in New York State between the ages of 12 and 19, inclusive.  Club activities will include field trips, annual meetings, and other events.  In addition, youth members will communicate via this website, a newsletter, and an online discussion group.

Adult volunteers will guide and mentor the youth members of the club, provide transportation, and handle the many administrative tasks required to make the club a success and maximize the value of the club to its young members while giving their safety top priority at all times.

Member Clubs/Organizations of NYSOA are invited to become NYSYBC Partner Clubs/Organizations.  Check our Membership page for more information, or contact us via .
