River Ambassadors
Our River Ambassador volunteer program is focused on creating environmental stewards who can help us raise awareness about local environmental issues through outreach and education. With 35 communities in the watershed and a small hard working staff of only 10 people, we need your help to broaden our reach! River Ambassadors represent CRWA at festivals, fairs, summer concerts, and more, where they speak to local residents about our mission, projects, and how people can help keep the Charles clean. For added fun you can bring our hands-on demonstration, Watershed in a Box, to help children and families visualize the impacts on water quality of many of our daily activities. As a River Ambassador, you would become a spokesperson for CRWA and an advocate for a health Charles River!
River Ambassadors are required to complete a 3-hour training session. Trained Ambassadors receive monthly emails with details on outreach opportunities for the upcoming month—you’re also feel free to suggest an event that you want to represent CRWA at! Ambassadors are expected to conduct a minimum of 12 outreach hours or three events per year. This program is open to any one ages 16 and above and you do not have to be a watershed resident.
At this time, CRWA has suspended all outreach and education programs indefinitely to ensure the safety amid the coronavirus pandemic. We are still accepting applications for River Ambassadors, and will add you to the email list so you can receive updates.
