Ever dreamed of being a marine biologist? An environmental educator? Making a difference? Here’s your chance! There are a number of volunteer activities available through facilities like the Loxahatchee River Environmental Center ‘River Center’ and the WildPine Lab. Assist with summer camp programs, visitor services, education programs, special events, field studies and even collect water quality data.

Send us information about your specific interests and how we can contact you. In turn, we will send you more information on fun and important volunteer programs to help the Loxahatchee River.
