RIVERKEEPER EVENTS
A good time for a good cause
Would you like to lead volunteer river cleanups along the Spokane River and our local waterways? Volunteer leads will guide groups with cleanup supplies along the shoreline of the river, providing guidance and safety while removing trash. This is a great way to support a healthy river and get some exercise while you’re at it!
Join the Spokane Riverkeeper for an in-depth look at what it takes to lead a successful Spokane River cleanup! Each year, we engage over 2,000 volunteers who help remove up to 68,000 pounds of trash from the river’s banks, keeping our watershed clean and healthy. This virtual training is designed for those interested in stepping up as a Volunteer River Cleanup Lead. You'll gain valuable insight into how our cleanups are organized, from volunteer sign-ups and logistics to trash disposal (and recycling) procedures. We'll cover essential safety protocols, proper handling of hazardous materials, and best practices for guiding and supporting volunteer teams in the field. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or new to river cleanups, this training will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to make a meaningful impact on the Spokane River. Join us and become a leader in keeping our river clean!
