How can I volunteer to assist with the oil spill response?
The Alabama Coastal Foundation began collecting volunteer contact information in late April. To date, we have collected information from over 3,000 volunteers eager to assist in the clean-up effort. At this time, volunteers are not permitted to perform acitivities that involve direct contact with oil. ACF is working with local partners to devise safe and effective volunteer opportunities. To date, ACF volunteers have conducted 4 pre-event clean-up days and have trained over 275 individuals to participate in our Volunteer Field Observer Program. To recieve information as opportunities become available, fill out our Volunteer Contact Form.
