5 Free Ways to Get Involved to Support Coosa Riverkeeper
We get it. You’ve got bills to pay. Mouths to feed. Lights to keep on. Presents to buy. So, we’ve put together a short list of FREE ways you can help us make an impact in your neck of the woods…
1. Invite your friends to follow us on social media.
You like pictures of the river, right? What about time lapse videos of fishing, boating, or our lab work in action? Or, behind the scene images of how we test water quality and fight pollution?
Tell your friends and family to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The more followers we have, the more folks can stay updated on water quality, fish consumption advisories, and important opportunities for collective action to protect the mighty Coosa River.
CONNECT WITH US: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter
2. Volunteer with us!
We have events EVERY MONTH that we need volunteers! Whether it’s setting up, talking to folks about our work, or helping with posting flyers. We always need more hands! Sometimes we have to turn down great opportunities simply because we’re overcommitted or don’t have the man power.
The cool thing is, we treat your time like money. We use Independent Sector’s volunteer rate $24.14 per hour and apply that to your membership… so when you give your time… we treat it like it’s money! Win-Win! For example: 4 hours of volunteering x $24.14/hour = $96.56 of your time!
Do you want to volunteer with us? Email us at info@coosariver.org and we’ll get you on the list.
3. Attend one of our many free events!
We’re conscious about having a lot of low-cost or free events and participating in community, family friendly events.
