What’s it like to work at Riverkeeper?
Emily Ruby

“Riverkeeper is so dedicated, and I love the special connection to place that the organization and staff have. It's really unique to work with people who all have that deep commitment and respect for the Hudson River and the communities that rely on it.”
Neale Gulley

“Growing up along the shores of the Hudson, my role models were local people with very different backgrounds and skill sets but all of them shared a vision of a cleaner, healthier river. To spend my energy each day in service of that purpose is an honor and privilege.”
