Join the River Tours Volunteer Team |
The River Parkway Trust is recruiting volunteers to help with the 2021 season of guided River Tours. Volunteers assist with shuttling participants between the put-in and take-out locations for each tour, loading and unloading the boat trailers, and group management on the water. Volunteers are asked to commit to assisting with at least one trip each month (though fewer trips may be assigned).
We're hosting two volunteer training dates this month. Volunteers must attend at least one of the dates listed here. Click the links to register.
During each training we'll go through a typical kayak tour from start to finish, including check-in, vehicle and passenger shuttling, water safety information, kayaking basics, practicing driving with a kayak trailer, and completing a downriver trip.
If you have any questions about becoming a River Tours Volunteer please contact Community Programs Director, Molly Schnur-Salimbene at mschnur-salimbene@riverparkway.org or call 559-248-8480 ext. 104.
