Adopt-A-Beach
This is for groups that would like to participate in more than one clean-up a year. The Adopt-A-Beach program has groups dedicate 3 days a year to help keep our beaches clean and upon completion of your third clean-up, your group receives a certificate of recognition. School groups can fulfill the obligation with a single clean-up. This activity is sponsored by the California Coastal Commission.
For groups other than schools, choose 3 monthly clean-up dates in a year. Fill out the Application with the dates you plan on attending. For schools, attach the Adopt A Beach Addendum to your Reservation Request.
Long Term Volunteers
LONG TERM VOLUNTEERS
Long term volunteers are those that would like to give more than 3 days of volunteer work a year. Long term volunteers have helped monitor endangered birds, dune restoration, interact with the public at community programs, and more. Contact Elizabeth.Bailey@parks.ca.gov
Scout Projects & Other Volunteer Opportunities
If you are a scout group that would like to give your service to our beach, we have half day, full day, and complex projects available.
If your group wants an activity other than participating in a beach clean-up, we have other opportunities. We are flexible if your group has a special interest.
There are larger, public days of service such as Earth Day at the Beach (April) and Coastal Clean-up Day (September).
For more info about any of these opportunities, please contact Elizabeth.Bailey@parks.ca.gov
