Join the PAYDA Youth Birdwatching Groups

If you want to take part in one of the youth birdwatching groups within the PAYDA Network, please fill in this form and answer the questions honestly. It helps us place you in the group that best matches your current level. We have six active groups and are welcoming new members. Welcome to the Pajareritos family!

Heads up: All group activities are in Spanish, for example WhatsApp messages amongst groups or the weekly Zoom calls.

Levels: Beginner, progressing beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

We currently run six active groups. For teens and youth who are just getting started we opened Albatros, and we are welcoming the youngest birders into Chingolitos.

Group schedule: Ongoing throughout the year.

Format: One weekly one-hour Zoom meeting plus a WhatsApp group with coordinators.

The activity is free and volunteer-based.

Once this form is submitted, we will reach out to the family. After the required authorization, the participant joins the recommended group to start attending online meetings and WhatsApp chats.

Important: Coordinators stay in close contact with families to support the process, reinforce commitment, and ensure a smooth integration.
