This is How You Can Help

Water For People was built by volunteers, and we still greatly value volunteer support. We are always looking for new volunteers to have a Ripple Effect and outreach in their communities by fundraising and promoting awareness of the global water crisis. As a volunteer, you'll have opportunities to learn more about our work.

The Ripple Effect Community is for people from all walks of life – any age, background, or profession – who bring their talent and passion to life for a good purpose. They have a ripple effect in their community by organizing events and fundraisers that promote awareness of the global water crisis and Water For People.

Join a Committee

Over 50 local committees across the United States and Canada support Water For People's work through community outreach, advocacy, and fundraising. Volunteering in your local committee provides a space to work alongside like-minded individuals to help end the global water crisis.

Sign up for the World Water Corps

The World Water Corps is made up of technical volunteers for Water For People. If you're a water or sanitation professional, we could use your expertise to support our teams around the world in solving technical challenges along the way to reaching Everyone Forever.

The majority of World Water Corps assignments are desk studies, no travel required.
