Become a Volunteer

Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering.

The future of the Skykomish River would not be possible without the generosity, dedication, and talent of volunteers like you. We have many opportunities from individual events to ongoing programs serving so many needs across our Skykomish River communities. Let’s find something that matches your strengths and interests and share your talents with those who need it most.

Volunteer Interest Form

Since we launched this summer, we’re excited with our initial steps and sharing with you whats going on that’s important to us!

Chum Collection

We’re excited to share that the Fall-Winter Chum Collection is a go! We are able to permit you and will be coordinating collection efforts.

Our mission, should you choose to accept it, will be collecting 300 male, and 300 female chums (yes, 600 chum collected in total) from October 15th to December 15th.

We have fish bags, we will have pens, and we can coordinate transport trucks with other groups and WDFW directly. Whether you’re new to fishing, a seasoned angler, or interested in an activity with your children we will have different opportunities.

We have a critical need of seasoned boat captins who own boats and are willing to take anglers out.

Are you interested in getting involved? I sure hope so!

To volunteer you are required to complete all of the following steps to receive your permit and coordinate trips.

Step 1: Sign up as a volunteer and complete orientation with WDFW. (State Requirement)

Step 2: Complete the Chum Collection volunteer link. (State Requirement)

Step 3: Volunteer with Sky River Restoration (Necessary to issue permits and coordinate efforts)

Step 4: Once completed, we will send you an email requesting additional information to issue you your permits that are to be kept on persons while collecting, and a sign-up link that will place you or your boat on a roster for easy coordination with other anglers.

We cannot wait to see you out on the river, and together I know we can meet this larger than ever collection target
