Frequently asked questions
How can I become a volunteer?
Complete the volunteer signup form with your information. Check out the list of volunteer opportunities and select the project or event you are interested in.
I have just signed up online, now what?
Your e-mail address has now been added to our list of volunteers and you will contacted when we have announcements or volunteer opportunities like cleanup dates and fundraisers. Thank you for taking the time to sign up. We could not do our important work without help from supporters like you!
I am interested in organizing a cleanup for my club, scout, school, or church group. How do we do so?
We are happy to facilitate group cleanups. We can direct you to locations in need as well as provide gloves, trash bags, as well as connect you with additional volunteers if necessary. Please email info@savannahriverkeeper.org about scheduling your event.
Can you sign off on service hours for my school, club or civic group?
If you serve as a volunteer for a Savannah Riverkeeper-hosted event or cleanup, we can vouch for your good work. Contact a member of our staff prior to your outing or at check-in to let us know.
I would like to volunteer for an upcoming event. How do I join the team?
Are children allowed at volunteer events?
Volunteering is fun and builds character! Children up to age 16 are welcome to volunteer at events when accompanied by an adult (can be a teacher, scout leader, etc.). Those under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign their volunteer waiver. Volunteer events take different forms: please be mindful of the unsanitary conditions of trash cleanups, the danger of working with tools and heavy equipment, natural hazards like plants and wildlife, and of course the risk of drowning when working on or near waterways. We kindly ask that you monitor young children at all times to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment.
