River Warriors attend and support River Authority and River Foundation events and educational field trips.
River Warriors support the River Authority’s sustainability efforts by becoming river protection ambassadors helping to spread the “Safe, Clean, and Enjoyable” message throughout the community with social media engagement and by sharing what they learn with family, friends, and co-workers.
