Volunteer with Us!

When you volunteer or intern with Mermaid Society SMTX, you will have a positive impact on the San Marcos community and meet a lot of great, enthusiastic, like-minded people while you're at it!  Your contribution has a direct impact on our mission.

We are happy to say that we have helped to create lifelong friendships for many in our community through volunteering with us!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Mermaid Society of Texas! Your time is one of the most precious and generous gifts you can offer—and we honor that deeply. Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do, and our mission to celebrate, protect, and preserve the San Marcos River and its surrounding community is made possible by individuals like you.

As a volunteer, you will represent the Mermaid Society in public spaces, helping to uplift our message, support events, and embody the positive spirit of our mission. Whether you're assisting with a festival, supporting a youth program, helping with outreach, or participating in a clean-up, you are an ambassador of river guardianship and community pride.

We believe that volunteering should be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, but it also requires a certain level of dedication and responsibility. Volunteers are expected to:

  • Bring a positive, team-oriented attitude

  • Work respectfully and cooperatively with others

  • Represent the Mermaid Society with integrity and kindness

  • Attend scheduled meetings or check-ins when applicable

  • Complete required training or orientations

  • Follow the Mermaid Society’s code of conduct

  • Fulfill agreed-upon tasks and responsibilities

We ask all volunteers to communicate openly about your availability, interests, and any special skills you'd like to contribute. This ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience for both you and the organization—and helps us match your talents to the right opportunities.

Once we receive and review your volunteer request, you will be emailed a link to complete our Volunteer Waiver Form. Please fill it out at your earliest convenience. After submission, we’ll be in touch to discuss your volunteer selections and help you get started!

By volunteering with the Mermaid Society, you become part of a vibrant, creative, and passionate community that works to inspire environmental stewardship, civic pride, and cultural celebration in the heart of San Marcos.

We are thrilled to welcome you aboard and thank you for being part of the magic!
