Join Rogue Riverkeeper as a volunteer or seasonal employee and get outdoors and learn about what’s going on with your public waterways.
Your effort makes a difference in our work. We are always looking for volunteers to help us safeguard rivers, streams and fish in the Rogue Basin.
Thanks for your interest!
Water Quality
Monitoring Volunteer
(June - September only)
Love to get outside? Each summer, we work with volunteers to collect water samples from local swimming and recreation sites around the Rogue Basin to report if the water meets state standards for bacteria. This volunteer position requires the ability to get to various locations in the Rogue Basin to collect a water sample and then deliver it to a designated drop site. If you like getting outside, consider becoming a Water Quality Monitor!
Step up and get active!
Enjoy staying up-to-date on our current campaign? Do you want to do more to protect the Rogue River? If you have the time and interest to commit to doing more to assist in our campaign work, we can use committed volunteers for tasks such as writing Letters to the Editor and Op-eds, making phone calls and sending emails, and amplifying our campaign messages through a variety of means. When you sign up to become an Activism Volunteer, we will contact you when we need community voices to elevate issues in the Rogue River Basin.
All volunteer opportunities are on hold due to COVID-19
