Volunteer

Just as the Red River could not flow without a source, neither can River Keepers. Your generous financial support allows our projects to continue, but we also need volunteers. The more participation in River Keepers’ projects and committees, the larger the impact on the community.

Find a project or a committee area in which you are interested. This might involve a skill to develop, a hobby to enjoy or a new interest to explore. Turn that interest into a service for the Fargo-Moorhead community. Also, encourage friends, families, your employer, other businesses, organizations and classrooms to volunteer their time or resources to River Keepers.
