Volunteer for the Environment
You want to save the planet?
SAVE THE FROGS! is a 100% volunteer organization. This website and everything else related to SAVE THE FROGS! was thought of, built, and completed on the free time of dedicated supporters. We are looking for volunteers who are pro-active, motivated, and dedicated. Regardless of your education or past work or volunteer experiences, if you are all those things then you can SAVE THE FROGS!
Before we begin
There are many things you can do -- you SHOULD do -- to help SAVE THE FROGS! prior to contacting us about volunteering.
First, sign up for our free electronic newsletter.
Second, spend a minimum of two hours surfing savethefrogs.com; Educate yourself, familiarize yourself with what SAVE THE FROGS! is all about. The more educated you are, the more effective an advocate you will be both for the frogs and for SAVE THE FROGS!.
Now, unless you have extremely specialized skills, please complete three of the tasks listed below before filling out the volunteer application at the bottom of this page.
Thanks, and have fun!

Your first volunteer job
And your second and third! Please complete a minimum of three of the tasks below prior to filling out the volunteer application listed at the bottom of this page. Better yet, do as many of these tasks as you can.
Post flyers
Go to our Spread The Word page, and print and post some of the flyers.
Collect signatures
Print the Save The Frogs Day petition. Fill up at least one page with your friends/coworkers' signatures, then send it to us. This is a fantastic way to spread the word and educate people, and it will help us get Save The Frogs Day legally recognized in your state.
One dollar
Tell your friends frogs are the most threatened group of animals on the planet and you're trying to raise money for SAVE THE FROGS!. Collect $1 from each of 20 friends. It's only a buck! Carry an envelope around with you. When someone gives you a dollar (or five), put it in the envelope, as it looks more professional. This is a fantastic way to spread the word and raise funds, all at the same time. Don't be shy! Oh yeah, then place a donation.
Talk to teachers
Contact your (or your children's) teachers to inform them of Save The Frogs Day, and the Frog Poetry Contest and Frog Art Contest. You can also try the local or state school board (you may have to fight through some beauracracy).
Email 10 friends
Send out an email to ten people telling them about frog extinctions and savethefrogs.com. Make it look real, not like a spam letter: include some real information about frog extinctions.
