Every week we sample water from 16 locations around Aquidneck and Conanicut Island to test the bacteria levels. We then share these results with the public to keep people safe while they are enjoying ocean activities. These samples need to be taken to the RIDOH lab in Providence to be tested, which is where this crucial volunteer job comes in. As the Water Sample Driver, you would drive the water samples from the drop-off locations in Newport and Jamestown to the Rhode Island Department of Health in Providence every Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m. You would also drop 2 of the samples at the Clean Ocean Access office in Middletown. The commitment for this volunteer job is about 2 hours every Thursday morning between 8:30-10:30 a.m. This is a great opportunity for someone who might be traveling to Providence. A driver’s license and car are required for this volunteer job. We prefer at least a six-month commitment to this job.
