Make a Difference, Become a Save The Bay Fellow

Join Save The Bay in the office and outdoors at our restoration sites around the Bay, as a volunteer in our Fellowship Program. You’ll support our day-to-day operations and be a part of cool and innovative projects, while gaining hands-on nonprofit experience with mentorship from our talented and passionate staff.

Someone with experience or knowledge in environmental studies, policy, restoration science, community engagement, communications, or fundraising
A team player with an ability to get things done, a great sense of humor, and a passion for San Francisco Bay

What we offer:

Professional office space in the heart of downtown Oakland with easy access to BART, amazing eateries, and an extraordinary view of the Bay to inspire you
Experience working on our upcoming groundbreaking projects such as the first inaugural Bay Day celebration on October 1, 2016, and the campaign for Yes on Prop 67 to uphold California’s single-use plastic bag ban on the November 2016 ballot
