Help improve and protect Washington's outdoors for years to come. Join a Recreation and Conservation Office advisory committee.

You can make a difference. 

Every year, more than 200 people from all across Washington State join us to make a difference for the outdoors. They evaluate grants and help applicants design better projects. These decisions guide the future of how we protect and improve Washington’s environment and outdoor recreation destinations.

We're looking for more than 50 volunteers who can make an impact on parks, trails, habitats, farms, and forests across Washington State. 

What's in it for you? 

• Volunteer from where you live. Grant evaluation will be remote so you no longer need to travel to Olympia.
• Stipends may be offered to eligible advisory committee members.
• Get the inside scoop on how we’re investing in preserving and enhancing parks, trails, and outdoor spaces in communities across Washington State.
• Understand what makes a good project and how to score well in future evaluations.
• Network among a community of like-minded people in the outdoor and environmental industries that truly care about making Washington a better place to live, play, and grow.

Your involvement helps ensure that the funding process remains fair and that public dollars are spent on the best projects. Learn more and apply.
