Volunteering
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Meade
Want to enrich your life and make a difference?
We are an all-volunteer organization with a number of ways in which you can make a difference. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out our Volunteer Interest Form below.

We partner with the Matanzas Riverkeeper to clean up in the Matanzas Rivershed.

Become an EagleWatcher
The SJRA is a strong supporter of Audubon Florida’s iconic EagleWatch program in St. Johns and all of Putnam Counties.
EagleWatch season runs from October to May each year. Over 40 SJRA members and friends actively participate in EagleWatch in our area and we need more volunteers – particularly for Putnam County.
Become a NE Florida Shorebird Steward
Florida has miles of beaches, yet only a few areas remain with the habitat needed by our beach- nesting birds – Least Terns, Wilson’s Plovers, Black Skimmers, and American Oystercatchers.
This why the SJRA supports the Florida Shorebird Alliance’s efforts to put stewards on our public beaches where shorebirds nest in the summer.
