Volunteers engage in meaningful, hands-on activities like waterway cleanups, tree plantings, oyster reef restoration, and community science. They also support our events and programs behind the scenes—helping our organization do more and reach more people.
Volunteering with LRNow is a rewarding way to care for the environment, connect with your community, and help preserve the natural beauty of Virginia Beach for future generations.
Volunteers of all ages are welcome to support our projects unless otherwise noted. Volunteers under 18 must have their waiver signed by a parent or guardian and only volunteers 16 and up may attend projects without a parent or guardian. Please contact volunteer@lrnow.org or call the office at 757-962-5398 with any questions.
Let us know how you would like to share your time and talents with our organization by filling out the Volunteer Interest Form below or emailing volunteer@lrnow.org.
