Volunteering at TILT

  • Potters Beach Clean Up
On behalf of TILT, I would like to thank all past volunteers, and warmly welcome all interested supporters, to our newly revitalized volunteer program.

After moving here in June 2018, the Thousand Islands has quickly become my home. I spend every day with a magnificent view of the River, talking to those who share in admiration of this place we all love.  My vision for TILT’s volunteer program is to create a space where people can celebrate the natural beauty of this region, and offer their unique set of skills in a relationship that is both beneficial to you as a volunteer and to our organization. I want to cultivate a group of passionate volunteers to help lead TILT in our mission to conserve the place we love, for present and future generations, and I thank you for your interest in joining TILT in this endeavor.

The enthusiasm and passion for TILT exhibited by our incredible volunteers shows, and it is inspiring. With the help of this newly revitalized volunteer program, together we will protect more natural wildlife habitat for generations to come. I am committed to providing you with a volunteer experience that will be productive and fulfilling.

TILT values the contributions of our volunteers as integral to our organization. As you give your time, energy, and effort to the organization, so will we ensure your efforts are supported and appreciated.

I plan to communicate with each volunteer to ensure that your goals, and the goals of TILT, are met.  Every single person can make a difference, and I am excited to work with you to determine what valuable contribution you can make to our organization, and to the conservation of the 1000 Islands region.

And don’t forget to join TILT at our annual Volunteer Recognition Event on Thursday, August 1st, 2019 so we can celebrate and thank our volunteers over dinner and awards at Deluke’s Garden Center at Northern Flow Vineyards.

To join TILT as a volunteer, email [email protected], call 315-686-5345, visit our website, or stop by the office to say hello. I look forward to working with you!
