Volunteer Opportunities
Safe Harbor Environmental offers year round opportunities for volunteering on coastal restoration projects.
Our goals
Our Volunteer Program fulfills three of our Core Values:
It enables us to continue fulfilling our commitment to involve local communities in the protection of their own coastal resources
It provides an opportunity to advance restoration efforts in financially restricted areas
It creates an opportunity to provide environmental education.
who can volunteer?
The Safe Harbor Volunteer Program is open to individuals of all age groups, backgrounds and educational experience.
We welcome student groups, community groups and individual volunteers. Volunteers should be available for a two and a half hour work period.

Important information for volunteers
The work is weather sensitive and volunteers are expected to be properly dressed for the coastal environment.
Volunteers should bring:
appropriate clothing for fieldwork
a notebook
communication skills
the desire to gain more education in resource area ecology
Projects
Projects are located around the Cape Cod coastline. We try to schedule volunteer work a week or more ahead of time but scheduling may change due to weather conditions.
