Our Mission
Missouri River Relief’s mission is to safely engage individuals and communities along the Missouri River in the exploration, enjoyment, restoration, and care of the river through hands-on river cleanups, education programs, and recreation.
We safely bring people to the Missouri River through three interconnected approaches.
River Cleanups
Missouri River Education
River Races & Events
Working Towards Equity, Inclusion and Cultural Relevancy
We believe that the river is inclusive to all beings and that diversity is fundamental to the ecological health of the Missouri River. Our work—connecting people to the Missouri River, themselves, each other, science and the natural world—must be relevant and accountable to the places and communities we serve.
We want to establish Missouri River Relief as an inclusive organization that contributes to individuals' wellbeing, works to connect communities, and promotes more equitable access to the Missouri River. This organization has developed an Action Plan identifying ways to reach this goal and areas of improvement. To learn more about this plan and its development, click the button below.
