We have a variety of ways for volunteers to get involved. We welcome the participation of individuals, families, corporate teams, service organizations, and scouting groups.

The Coastal Prairie Conservancy's policy on working with minors:

Minors 16 years and older are welcome to volunteer for the Coastal Prairie Conservancy. We also enjoy working with our younger friends when parents or chaperones are also available to volunteer with them. Volunteers under the age of 18 must gain permission from a legal guardian in order to volunteer. Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times when volunteering for the Coastal Prairie Conservancy.

For youth-focused volunteer groups, we ask for an adult chaperone to minor ratio of 1:10. We also ask that each minor’s parent register and complete our waiver for their child in advance. Please contact us at volunteer@coastalprairieconservancy.org to learn more.
