Cleanups-the safest way to get out and do good!

Small, distanced, and masked-cleaning up our beloved waterways just feels good! We partnered for the 8th year with the Watershed Project for Coastal Cleanup day in September with our infamous inflatable paddle board
“SUP-Zilla”.

In November Rivers for Change co-founders Danielle and John reunited on the water for another SUP cleanup which included collecting, washing, and redistributing over 50 tennis balls to some happy dogs.
A little really does go a long way.

Get Involved!

As we edge closer to our 10th anniversary, we have begun Strategic Planning to re-evaluate and re-assess our priorities and focus. We are committed to increasing diversity and inclusion, creating sustainable and scalable programming, and increasing our impact through source to sea adventure, conservation and environmental education.

If you’re interested in joining our volunteer Board of Directors to help with implementing our vision for the future, we’d love to hear from you!

If you have some time on your hands and would like to volunteer we are always looking for additional admin help, web design and social media expertise…

If you’re a paddler, adventurer, or organization that is interested in partnering as an ambassador, fundraiser, or sponsor…

Contact danielle@riversforchange.org 

Looking ahead!

Our 2021 vision includes expanding these successful programs when and as it is safe to do so:

Your support will help us reach our ultimate goal – to connect more people to rivers. We all know that rivers play a critical role in our lives, they provide water to drink and grow food, recreational opportunities, and healthy biodiversity – we NEED healthy rivers. It’s not an option, it’s a necessity.
Rivers for Change believes that building a stronger connection to a river results in a willingness to protect it!
