Volunteers

The Coastal Resources Center (CRC) promotes volunteerism. Our Rhode Island-based program for volunteer citizen water quality monitoring served as a national model. Volunteers have also served in many of our international field programs. International volunteer assignments are geared toward working professionals with at least five years of experience and who are willing to spend several weeks on an overseas assignment in a developing country. In 2005, the Coastal Resources Center's International Volunteer Program was highlighted in the annual Volunteers for Prosperity report to the White House.

If you are unable to volunteer yourself but interested in supporting the work of one of our international program volunteers going to Tanzania, the Volunteers for Prosperity program has partnered with Global Giving. Global Giving has setup a secure online donation site for our Sustainable Coastal Communities and Ecosystems project volunteers. You can read more about the project at their site and if you wish, contribute to fund a volunteer.
