Volunteer With Us

Join our community of dedicated environmental stewards

Help us take care of the Bay

Make a Difference

Volunteering with Bay Tides is more than just giving your time—it's about becoming part of a community that cares deeply about the San Francisco Bay. Whether you have a few hours or want to make a regular commitment, there's a place for you.

No experience necessary. We provide training and all the tools you need. Just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to get involved!

When you volunteer, you join a team of people who love the Bay. You can help a little or a lot. We have a spot for you.

You don't need to know anything special. We will teach you. Just come ready to help!
