Volunteer
upcoming Events
There are few things as satisfying as physically making change happen, getting dirty and feeling the support of a team. Get connected to a local River clean-up, tree planting or restoration workday. Volunteers have a lot of fun and meet some pretty great people in the process.
1 Mississippi attends a variety of events throughout the year to talk to people, explain why the River is in trouble and bring new River Citizens into the team. Because local River Citizens are the best representatives to talk with their neighbors about the 1 Mississippi campaign, we need your help. If you are interested in volunteering for the 1 Mississippi campaign during an event in your area email kmcginnis@1mississippi.org. We can put you in touch with the local 1 Mississippi campaign office.
