Ways To Help

Support STR Today

There are many different ways that you help sea turtles and support Sea Turtle Recovery.
  Review the information below to find the opportunities that you can help with!

Nonprofits have expenses just like any other small business. Financial support provides the greatest opportunity to distribute your support across all aspects of Sea Turtle Recovery’s Mission.

Sometimes you want to buy something specific to help out. Check out our Wishlist of items that will help STR. Remember, if shopping online, to shop through Amazon Smile or Goodshop to send a few extra dollars our way!

Doing your own fundraiser for Sea Turtle Recovery can be a great way to get the family or community involved while spreading the word. There are some legal  rules, so please contact us first for more details to make sure Uncle Sam doesn’t come knocking on your door.

There are several ways to jump in and get your hands dirty! Unfortunately, our permits restrict any hands on activity with our patients, but there are plenty of other ways to help. Check out our Volunteer and Internship opportunities.

Tell your community why you love STR! Talking to your friends and family about STR helps raise awareness. Sharing our social posts is an easy, no cost way to help advance our mission!
