We appreciate you!

Salmon Fest focuses on natural resource education and outdoor recreation, and shares the cultural significance of the salmon to people of the Northwest.  Without the help of our volunteers, this event and the countless memorable and inspiring experiences of children across Washington wouldn’t be possible! 

You give your blood, sweat, and tears, your time, energy, skills, and so much more, and you do it out of the goodness of your heart.  “Thank you” doesn’t even begin to describe our gratitude and appreciation. Know that you are changing lives and inspiring children of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to become informed and proactive stewards for this planet.  Your generosity is unmatched. 

Below are links to resources just for our Salmon Fest Volunteers.  If you have questions and would like to speak with someone, please email volunteer@salmonfest.org.
