There are lots of opportunities to participate in citizen science by collecting data, help operate and maintain our boat, and more. Qualified boat captains are also welcome to come aboard.

Help us recruit speakers, organize events and develop materials and online content that helps to tell our story. Our volunteers are the face of OLWQS to community groups, schools, media outlets and more. Let your voice be heard!

We’re looking for idealistic go-getters who love to communicate, no matter what your level of prior fundraising experience might be.
