Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are crucial to the success of WRF’s research projects, and there are a variety of ways you can get involved. Every project has a Project Advisory Committee that aids in the development of RFPs, reviews proposals, and monitors project results. In addition, participating utilities can serve as test facilities, provide water samples, share staff expertise, and more. Learn more about how you can get involved.
