When you volunteer with PCEI, you are giving back to multiple communities in the Palouse-Clearwater region. You become a champion for sustainability, land stewardship, environmental education, and more. Our projects and programs are not possible without the help of volunteers like you. We take the time to couple your interests, talents, and availability with community needs and the needs of our organization to create a meaningful volunteer experience. Read on to learn about different ways to get involved.
