Volunteer

Want to help? Cook Inletkeeper has many ways, big and small, for you to make a difference:

Operations

Volunteers make our world go 'round in two very important ways:

Short-term volunteers

Short-term volunteers help us accomplish everything from stuffing and stamping envelopes, organizing merchandise or hanging posters for a few hours to helping us plan an event over the course of a month. Some like to be quiet and methodical, others want to get out there and help us to staff a booth and share information. Or perhaps you have special skills to lend, like graphic design, photography or construction. Just let us know.

Long-term volunteers

Long-term volunteers staff our board of directors and require a consistent commitment to our mission. In order to best serve the organization, we strive to build a strong board with diverse qualifications. Our board represents commercial fishing, small business, education, community, legal and fundraising concerns, among others.

If you have the dedication we need to further expand our board skills and abilities, please contact
