What Type of Volunteer do You want to Be?

KS Wild is a watchdog group that depends on community support. 

“Volunteering for KS Wild has helped me find my interests and what I am passionate about. I have always loved the natural world, but KS Wild’s work has caused this interest to expand and blossom in me. KS Wild has successfully helped protect many unique wild places in the local bioregion and when I volunteer for the organization, I feel like I am helping to support an organization that gets the job done.”

-   Youth Volunteer, Ayani Mikasi

To best do our work in the community, we can always use a few helping hands! We are excited to work with individuals to create mutually beneficial relationships that help further the protection of the environment, strengthen the KS Wild organization, and empower community members to learn more about their surroundings. Listed below are some ways you can get involved in KS Wild's work to protect our one-of-kind bioregion.

Release of Liability

Please have all participants sign a separate form with waiver online. Thank you!

I am at least 18 years of age (or, if I am younger than 18 years of age, my parent or guardian must also sign this Release of Liability) and in good health. I am physically fit to participate in the activity, and am not aware of any allergies or other physical or mental disorder or condition that would inhibit my participation on this event.

I am aware and acknowledge that the trip may be hazardous, and that such hazards may include but are not limited to rockfall, wildlife interactions, lightning, inclement weather, accident, illness, giardia, heat exhaustion, and the hazards of road and highway travel, and may result in loss, injury or death, and I will not hold KS Wild, Rogue Riverkeeper, its officers, directors, employees or volunteers, or any other sponsoring organization, responsible for these or other hazards. Because the hike will occur in a backcountry setting, I understand that emergency medial care may not be readily available. 

I understand that participation in this event may require a degree of skill and knowledge different from other activities, and that I have responsibilities as a participant. I will follow all directions from representatives of KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper and comply with all applicable rules for backcountry travel as they are explained or known to me. I understand that there may be times when trip participants are unsupervised for portions of field activity, and will ultimately be held responsible for their own safety. 

In return for my receiving permission from KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper to participate on the trip, and for other good and valuable consideration, I fully release and indemnify KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper as well as its respective officers, directors, employees, and volunteers from all liability, claims, demands, and causes of action, arising out of damage, loss, or injury to me (including death) or to my property, from whatever cause, as a result of their acts or omissions, including their negligence, or my participation in a trip or other activity, and I covenant and agree to not file or assert any claim, demand or lawsuit against any of the released parties. I intend this Release of Liability to be broadly construed for the benefit of the released parties and to be binding upon my family, heirs, personal representatives, and insurers. I grant KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper permission to use my image in photographic or video recordings from the event, and I waive any right to compensation for such use. 

Thank you for joining our network of volunteers supporting the web of conservation efforts locally and globally. We look forward to working with you.
