Join

There are many ways to join our mission. For our first eight years Friendly Water for the World was an all-volunteer organization. From board direction to fundraising, administration and event management, volunteers built and continue to be the foundation of our future. They provide valuable input and crucial perspective helping to guide us on our path to potential supporters and partnerships. Perhaps most importantly, our volunteers inspire a lot of joy and humor, essential ingredients to balance the seriousness of the work we undertake. Thanks to the power of virtual work and connection, volunteers are able to connect with us from Costa Rica to Montana.

Another way people, organizations, and companies join our work is by becoming partners. Sometimes we partner with organizations who have a shared vision and want to share information and best practices. Other times our partners become sponsors of our events or operations. And we are always searching for funding, implementation, and community-based partners to more effectively activate our program. Please contact us (info@friendlywater.org or 360-214-3145) if you, or a person or organization you know, is interested in partnering with our work in some way.

Are you are interested in joining but want to find more information about our operations or program? Why not attend one of our events? Or you can watch any of our previous digital events on our Youtube page.
