Volunteer

Join Riverkeeper’s Volunteer Team! At Riverkeeper we appreciate and depend on the ongoing support our volunteers provide us with. We believe in the necessity and the right of citizens to play a primary role in the protection of their local environment. To put that belief into action, we offer the following volunteer positions in which you can help Riverkeeper and act on your passion for a clean Hudson River free of pollution and protecting the quality of drinking water for over 9 million New Yorkers!

Please review the below opportunities and fill out out our required volunteer form and make sure to note if you are interested in a particular volunteer opportunity.

• Ring Up the River!

  Riverkeeper is recruiting a regular staff of volunteers to help us with monthly follow-up calls to members after we send them mail pieces. This is a new program and volunteer opportunity which will take place on a regular monthly basis, usually every third week, and be extremely helpful to Riverkeeper in keeping our costs low while increasing our financial support.

  This may be done remotely and on your own time at your house, on the road or wherever you please within about one week after we send out the mailing. You’ll be given a list of about 10-15 confidential names and contact information. If you would like to call from our office in Tarrytown, that is also an option.

  Please email Emily Griffin at: egriffin@riverkeeper.org to volunteer or call (914) 478 4501 ext. 222 with any questions.

  Thank you for your time and energy in support of Riverkeeper!

• Do "Write" By the River With In House Mailings

  Help Riverkeeper cut back on the amount of fuel and energy consumed by processing our mailings through an external company assisting us with mailings done from “in house.” On occasion, Riverkeeper requests the help of your hands in producing small scale mailings from our office in Tarrytown, NY. For the majority of projects, it will require all or part of one day and you will work on a team of 2- 5 people. This will keep our eco-footprint low and production level high!

  If interested or with questions, please email Emily Griffin at: egriffin@riverkeeper.org to volunteer or call (914) 478 4501 ext. 222 with any questions.

  Thank you for your time and energy in support of Riverkeeper!
