Join our team this summer! We’re looking for a volunteer to support communications and outreach in our Friday Harbor office—just two hours a week. Tasks may include data entry, printing or distributing flyers, organizing materials, ordering outreach gear, and reviewing analytics. Bonus if you know Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Canva, Adobe Express, or WordPress—but not required. We are flexible if there are some weeks you need to skip to enjoy the summer! Some of the tasks may be performed remotely.
San Juan County is updating their Comprehensive Plan which will include a new climate element. They are planning to complete these updates by June 30, 2025. To help us advocate for protecting the San Juans, Friends is assembling a Comp Plan Action Team. As part of the team, you will join other volunteers to discuss the proposed updates and how to best advocate for impactful climate-focused changes. To share your vision for the future of San Juan County, you may choose to write letters and/or speak at Planning Commission and County Council hearings, and we will help you do this. So, if you are excited to have your voice heard, join us so we can make a difference together!
