Our volunteer onboarding process begins with completing the volunteer onboarding form attached in the Volunteer Handbook, followed by downloading and setting up an account on a third-party app we use for volunteer communication.
A member of our staff will then get in touch and share a link to join the corresponding group.
New volunteers will attend a BioBlitz Battle as a shadowing volunteer, and once you’ve attended your first event, you’re officially part of the team!
We are passionate about connecting people of all ages and backgrounds to the incredible wildlife found around our coastline. Since October 2024, we have been focusing on our pioneer project, the Big Rock Pool Challenge. Currently, we have nine thriving teams of friendly, rock pool wildlife loving people of all ages based across the UK. At all locations our volunteers play a huge role in supporting the Big Rock Pool Challenge Monthly BioBlitz Battles. As we continue to grow and expand, we are excited to welcome even more volunteers to join us!

Join our community and network with like-minded individuals. Contribute to environmental conservation and community engagement, whilst also improving your health and wellbeing, and personal development. Whether you are a seasoned marine enthusiast or just curious about our amazing rock pools, everyone (who is above the age of 18) is welcome! Each event has a variety of volunteer roles, and you do not need to have any previous wildlife experience to get involved:
I think TRPP is doing a great job of educating and involving the local community about nature and the environment. And is really supportive of the volunteers, despite feeling intimidated at first by my lack of knowledge, I've consistently felt appreciated and supported. Even when I've made mistakes, I've been gently educated and encouraged. It's a great community and a fantastic way of bringing diverse people together to share enthusiasm and knowledge.

Volunteering with The Rock Pool Project has opened up my world to many opportunities and helped me grow socially as a person. It is an amazing way to learn about the intertidal environment and gain new skills whilst being involved in nature.
