Help us help others! In recognition of MLK Day of Service, The Media Foundation (an Oregon 501(c)3) will be sorting donated in-kind media. This is one step of many that ultimately allows us to turn donations into liquid assets, then donated to local nonprofits. It's a lot of work, and only possibly with the help of many hands.

HOW? You might ask. Media donations such as DVDs, CD, vinyls, and books are processed by volunteers and staff and sold online through websites such as Amazon, eBay, Alibris, Half.com, and others.

WHAT DO VOLUNTEERS DO? Volunteers assist by sorting inventory, alphabetizing media, cleaning, prioritizing, and filing the media we receive. You can volunteer 1 or 100 times! Volunteering is staged at our office, or offsite. Some groups would rather us come to them which we can do, and we bring tasks to keep everyone busy for hours. We look forward to connecting with you! Thanks!

Volunteer patrols form a central part of our effort to monitor pollution and prevent debris from contaminating our waterways. While on patrol, we keep an eye out for abnormal discharges and oil slicks, remove accumulated debris, and check for the application of best management practices by shoreline businesses.

Volunteers will be outfitted in double kayaks and paddle to a designated area of Lake Union to monitor water pollution and remove trash. If necessary, volunteers may help report pollution concerns to an appropriate agency.

Kayak cleanups are open to anyone over the age of 12 and no prior kayak experience is required. We will provide training and all necessary equipment. Kayakers must dress appropriately for the weather. Personal belongings can be stored in the NWOC office. A safety overview will be delivered before heading out.

To attend: Space is limited and filled on a first come, first served basis. Please visit our events page to register: https://pugetsoundkeeper.org/events/list/

From transplanting seedlings within our nurseries to removing harmful invasive species, volunteers are essential to the success of Save The Bay’s restoration work.

To restore the shoreline, Save The Bay engages community volunteers, schools, and businesses throughout the year to help with seasonal phases of the restoration cycle. All Restoration Volunteer Programs include:

At least one Project Leader from the Habitat Restoration Team, certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED
Introduction to Save The Bay and San Francisco Bay history and ecology
Gloves, tools, and all necessary equipment
Restoration project direction and tool safety instruction
Sunscreen and water
No experience necessary

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Is there an address for the meeting location?
Our restoration sites do not have street addresses, and meeting location is determined based on site needs. If you are participating in any of our volunteer programs, you will receive directions to the meeting location 1-2 weeks prior to the event. We provide specific GPS points that can be plugged into any mapping app or site to get you to the correct location. Because our sites are often not recognized by most mapping programs, we ask that you do not use any other source of directions besides the GPS points provided by Save The Bay.

May I bring my children?
Absolutely! Our restoration programs can be a great learning experience for the whole family, and we often have toddlers in our programs. All that is required is a little extra attention and guidance from the parent/guardian. Many of the activities can be modified with your supervision for an enriching day, and we encourage exploration of the shoreline by your little ones!

What should I bring and wear?
Be prepared to be outdoors for three hours. We recommend that you do not bring any valuables, and do not plan to leave valuables in your car.

Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are required
Dress in layers; long pants are recommended
Sun protection, such as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen
Full reusable water bottle
Are your sites accessible by public transportation?
Yes! Most of our sites are accessible by public transit and by bike. Make sure to reference our site directions for bike paths. Our site in Oakland is the only site accessible by BART.

Do you cancel programs because of bad weather?
We will still run programs in a light rain and will provide ponchos for volunteers. High winds or thunderstorms may force us to cancel a program. If your program is canceled, you will be contacted on the phone number provided during online registration.

Can I volunteer to attain Community Service Hours?
Yes, our volunteer programs count toward community service hours, whether school or court mandated. Each program counts for three hours, and field staff can provide and/or sign forms on the day of the event at the end of the program.
