Volunteer at the CBC!
It takes a village, earn rewards by helping us out!
Volunteering is a great way to promote safe access to Bellingham Bay by creating opportunities to learn, socialize, and recreate. We are always looking for volunteers, especially folks who can commit to longer-term tasks. Below are some of the areas we actively need volunteers. If you have relevant skills but don’t see them listed, contact us and let’s see what we can do! Sign Up!
Check out our Volunteer Appreciation Program here.
Where Volunteers Are Most Needed:
3-Hour Waterfront Shifts
Waterfront volunteers help prepare rentals, greet customers and work on a variety of projects when it’s slow. Feel free to bring a laptop or book as well and just hang out! Waterfront volunteers receive ‘on the job’ training, and it’s a great way to learn the basics of our operations if you plan on volunteering in other areas.
