Volunteer
If you would like to donate some of your time and talent, we have many volunteer opportunities, from taking part in the EST program (with your child), to buildings & grounds, Schoharie River Day, to Cultural Arts programs and fund raising. Whatever interests you, we are interested in hearing from you.
Vehicle Donations
Ready to trade in your vehicle? Have a junker in the yard (or know a neighbor who does)? You can make a tax deductible vehicle donation to the Schoharie River Center. We receive the proceeds from the sale of your vehicle (we don’t actually take ownership). You can also donate snowmobiles, motorcycles, boats, RV’s, and jet skis. It costs you nothing do make the donation. Your vehicle doesn’t have to be working, either
EST Membership
The Environmental Study Team (EST) program is our flagship youth development program. Middle school and high school aged students can join this award winning after-school program for FREE!! Learn about the science of water quality monitoring, while having a blast outdoors, cross-country skiing, hiking, bicycling, swimming, and so much more.
