Join Galveston Bay Foundation as we work around the Bay to protect the vital natural resource we're all connected to.
Just as the wetlands and marshes of the Bay connect the land to the sea, our volunteers connect our conservation efforts to community. Our volunteers are helping us to restore native habitats, protect and monitor water quality, educate the public, and inspire action for the Bay.
Volunteers can choose to help at our community and special events, or can dedicate themselves to train for specialized roles in water protection, education, outreach, and oyster habitat restoration. Contact volunteer@galvbay.org for more information.
Visit our volunteer portal to view all volunteer opportunities or share your interest for specialized volunteering here.
We welcome groups to join us for community and private volunteer opportunities. Complete our group volunteering interest form to let us know how you would like to get involved. Service opportunities vary depending on the evolving priorities of our programs and the availability of our staff.
Volunteering scouts play a vital role in supporting our mission and invite both scout groups and scouts seeking Eagle Scout rank to collaborate with us on a range of projects. To get started, view our current list of projects here.
