Advance MyRWA's mission to protect and restore the Mystic River Watershed and connect people to the Mystic. We need your enthusiasm and expertise!

MyRWA's volunteer committees meet together on the first Tuesday of each month from 8-9 pm at our offices in Arlington. This is a time for committee discussion, planning and strategizing.

Outreach Committee

Passionate about the river, the watershed association, environmental news, greenways progress, outdoor recreation or education? If you said yes to any of these and would enjoy supporting our in-person outreach initiatives you'd be great for the outreach committee. Volunteers plan and implement outreach events and support the Herring Run and Paddle (our annual 5k and paddle race). Help us educate the public about our programs, watershed news and all the great things the Mystic offers!

Policy Committee

Through the policy committee, you can advocate for responsible development and for protection of the natural resources of our watershed. Members of the committee learn together and from each other about the environmental, scientific, political and engineering issues that impact the river. Members draft letters to endorse or oppose legislation or in response to environmental permits and development proposals, testify at public hearings and more. Have a specific issue you want to advocate for or against? Bring it to our attention, we're a passionate and committed group!
