Founded in 1984, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance (Soundkeeper) was the first grassroots citizen’s organization to focus exclusively on protecting the marine environment of Puget Sound. In 1990, Soundkeeper became the 6th licensed member of the Waterkeeper Alliance, a national movement founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Today, over 200 individual Waterkeepers around the world act as stewards for their waterways and defend their communities’ right to clean water. Soundkeeper works to protect and preserve Puget Sound by monitoring, cleaning up and preventing pollutants from entering its waters. To achieve this mission, Soundkeeper actively monitors Puget Sound water quality by boat, enforces the Clean Water Act, engages with stakeholders and regulators and implements solution-oriented partnerships with Puget Sound residents and the business community. For this project, the AmeriCorps member will help coordinate three areas of Soundkeeper’s programs: 1) Soundkeeper Volunteer Trainings.
