Volunteer

Want to get involved in a great community of people who care about Humboldt Bay? Become a Baykeeper volunteer!

Volunteers are the heart of Humboldt Baykeeper - it is only through the efforts of people like you that we can be an effective force for clean water and a healthy coast. Plus, volunteering with Baykeeper is fun!

Contact us today at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to join our Volunteer Network and help us with projects such as:

King Tide Photo Initiative (winter months): Photograph specific sites along the Humboldt Bay shoreline during the highest tides of the year to document areas vulnerable to sea level rise and erosion.

Coastal Cleanups: Earth Day (April) and Coastal Cleanup Day (September) events to remove trash from beaches and riverbanks, keeping it out of the bay and ocean.

Fundraising events - Help plan benefit events and/or volunteer at the event.

Outreach Team - Represent Baykeeper at community events such as Godwit Days (April) and the North Country Fair (September).

Office Assistance - Occasional envelope stuffing sessions, database entry, etc. 

Our Citizen Water Monitoring Program is currently searching for funding.

Research on policy issues is always a big need, as is grant writing. Experience required.

And Everywhere Else You Can Think Of! Drop us an email with your ideas about how you can help protect Humboldt Bay.
