Welcome to Rivers for Change! We are a 501c3 not-for-profit, founded in Fall of 2011. Our mission is to engage, collaborate, and promote conservation through Source to Sea Adventures. Our founding principles are based on a Source to Sea holistic view of the river and marrying adventure and conservation.

We recently completed our ambitious 12 Rivers in 2012 campaign and are planning our Source to Sea on the Sacramento River from the top of Mount Shasta to the Golden Gate Bridge. In May we are hosting the California 100, a premier ultra marathon paddle race on the Sacramento River from Redding to Chico on May 25th. Before the race, on May 19th, we’ll be hosting a community paddle in Redding, CA and on May 27th, we’ll be hosting a river clean up in Chico. Be sure to check our events page for an activity near you.

We look forward to engaging, paddling, and learning with you. For our rivers, The RFC Team
