We are 1Planet, a unique organization for placing volunteers in positions innately suited to their interests and values. We specialize in environmental and animal welfare concerns. We have partnered with the Animal Rescue Fund of Rincon, Puerto Rico to socialize street dogs or "satos" for adoption in Puerto Rico and the U.S mainland. We have also partnered with Surfrider Foundation, the Rincon chapter, to assist with water monitoring, beach cleanup, and near shore recovery in an unprecedented effort to effectively track bacterial contamination of tidal environments. Join us in assisting us in this important fight, make your voice heard! Join 1Planet!
