We wouldn’t be here without volunteer support and community-driven action for the islands and Salish Sea! Volunteering is a great way to get your feet wet, learn more about the natural environment, and meet like-minded people who are passionate about taking action.

Our volunteer portal will allow you to choose your area of interest by registering with us. Your information will only be used to help you select your volunteer opportunity and keep track of your hours and contact information. You can also email us at friends@sanjuans.org with questions.
