Donating one's time
Wherever
Whether you want to get out and about (participating in local events, litter picking, etc.) or prefer to stay cosy at home and lend us a hand, anything is possible!
To work alongside us
No specific skills are required to help us. Are you motivated, dynamic and cheerful? That’s exactly what we need! Whatever your professional experience or field of study, you will find a role that suits you.
At Surfrider, we tailor our activities to what you want and are able to do (while ensuring that we remain consistent with our needs and internal employee obligations). That’s why the tasks we offer to people who want to become volunteers are usually related to their skills or passions.
For example:
Perhaps you could help us design a poster for an event organised by a local group or create a cool visual for our next booklet on water quality!
Then you will be the ideal person to capture an event organised by Surfrider or one of the local groups.
It is possible that we may need you to translate or simply proofread a document in one of these languages.
volunteering in the field
skills-based volunteering
Joining Surfrider as a volunteer in the field means taking concrete action to protect the ocean while enjoying an enriching and friendly experience.
By participating in our flagship programmes, such as Ocean Initiatives, or by getting involved in a local group, you can take concrete action, such as waste collection or awareness campaigns.
These missions, organised outside working hours, are a great opportunity to contribute to environmental preservation while sharing memorable moments with other enthusiasts.
Ocean Initiatives
The clean-ups organised as part of the Retrace! project are initiatives to raise awareness of the issue of aquatic waste by organising waste collection on beaches, lakes, rivers and the seabed.
If you would like to organise your own clean-up, visit the Retrace! website or contact oceaninitiatives@surfrider.eu for more information.
Local groups
Local groups are groups of volunteers spread
across Europe who organise numerous events, actions and environmental campaigns for Surfrider: waste collection, awareness-raising in schools, implementation of environmental campaigns, organisation of events, development of partnerships, strengthening of the membership network, etc.
