Volunteers
A talented and energetic corps of volunteers fill an important niche at Prairie Rivers Network, where there is always more work to be done!
Volunteers are needed to check Google Alerts for river conservation stories in order to help our staff and network stay current on the latest river-related developments. A number of volunteers help with mailings and other office work, while some contribute their skills to Prairie Rivers Network’s many projects. We welcome volunteers for a project, semester or year(s).
We recognize that volunteering is an important way to gain skills, references and network connections. Several of our volunteers have gone on to work in an environmental field, and some volunteers have stayed with us for many years, either as a staff or board member.
To volunteer, please fill out the Volunteer Interest Form,
and e-mail it to us at: info [at] prairierivers.org
