All of MCWCs efforts are currently being managed by a small group of board members and super volunteers, but we can’t do it alone. We need your help, and there are lots of ways!

Community Engagement

It feels great to connect with like-minded people across Michigan who recognize how important protecting water is, like our amazing membership! Examples include making calls to engage other members or tabling at events or farmers markets. This is a top need!

Speakers Bureau

Education is power, and it’s important to share what we know with as many people as we can. We are asked on occasion to speak at events about particular issues, to share presentations, etc. Folks from the Speakers Bureau can help with being a representative for MCWC at events around the state.

Social Media, Communications & Tech

Communicating what is happening in the news and sharing info on our work has shifted into the digital world, and this is an easy way for folks to take action. From sending emails to social media posts, from website content to Zoom, we always are looking for keyboard warriors that can help! This is a top need!

Research & Content

MCWC is known for provided well-researched information to the public. Folks that are good with research and folks can help communicate complicated information are essential! This is a top need!

Environmental Monitors

These are our on-the-ground watchdogs, since we can’t count on the government agencies to be there, and we surely can’t count on businesses to be honest about their impact on our environment. We are looking for folks that can help us monitor the impact on our water in places like the rivers and streams near the Ice Mountain bottled water plant.

Government Monitors

The state and federal government have a lot going on, and having folks that can monitor our issues from the legislature and other government agencies (like EPA, MPSC, EGLE, local commissions, etc) is what will ensure we can have our voices heard when it counts most.
