Most of us who volunteer for RFC are paddlers who love being on the water. It’s the simplest and quickest way to engage anyone—have fun, be outdoors, exercise, and engage with the magic of an ecosystem. Once you catch the bug, you naturally want to delve deeper, learn more, and share your experiences with others. An RFC ambassador embodies these qualities. They cherish being on the water or in nature, and embrace adventure.
Ambassadors educate themselves about water, not just how to navigate it but also its broader significance in the interconnectedness of all things. Ambassadors often become intrigued by a specific river or location and are driven to explore it further, aspiring to bring others along on their journey. Whether through teaching, guiding, or simply sharing their story to engage communities we work together to protect and restore our precious waterways.
Our ambassadors are advocates for water and the environment, promote source-to-sea literacy principles, and play a vital role in connecting us to the true value of our rivers and natural spaces.
