YouthSERVE Volunteer Calendar
Ready to jump in on a project? Check out our calendar of fun projects that are open to teen volunteers. Some of these projects are with YouthSERVE while others are with our community partners. Please note that some of the projects have age requirements (but all of them allow young people to attend with an adult).

Beach Clean Up
Join us in the efforts to keep our local beaches clean by picking up trash and debris. Keeping trash off of our beaches helps keep toxic chemicals out of the ocean and provides a safer environment for wildlife. It’s also a great opportunity to spend some time outdoors with friends and family! Gloves and trash bags are provided.
YouthSERVE Beach Clean-ups will start again in April 2024
Email [email protected] to be notified of upcoming clean-ups
