We will seek out locations most in need if your group does not have a place in mind. We provide safety vests, trash pickup utensils, trash bags, gloves and water. We co-ordinate with government officials and post official signage during the campaign to make your Volunteer Day a great success. We ensure proper removal of trash. No financial obligation, but   $1 - $5 per participant into our "Green-n-Clean" Donation Jar helps fund community cleanups or consider becoming a lifetime member if you organize a campaign.

Corporate group donations fund general operating expenses and our mission.

Visit the Volunteer Opportunities section located below and sign up, or  just show up!  We bring all supplies and water. No financial obligation, but if you put a dollar or two into the "Green-n-Clean" Donation Jar it helps to fund community cleanups. All ages welcome, under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.  3 and older can usually work a grabber pretty well and surprise you with their ability!

See the Start a Chapter PDF at the bottom of our website. Take control and help the environment. "Think Global, Serve Local." Your Board can make a tremendous difference and build community while working in the great outdoors. Cleanup campaigns also provide a healthy activity for the community.   All details, including the requirement of at least two small or one large cleanup a year, are in the pdf below.

We  work with your Service Learning Team as well as community/government groups to provide service opportunities. There is no financial obligation, however we seek funding from foundations and community groups to help with general operating expense.  We appreciate any assistance you can give in speaking to foundations.

Combining service learning and action helps students to understand:

1.  Issues we face in the community. 
2. Role of non-profit missions to address community problems. 
3. How they can make a difference.

Members of our board are pleased to speak with any group regarding our mission or other topics for your group.
