Volunteering at the Conservancy can be a unique opportunity to get involved with your local wetlands. They have many different volunteer positions ranging from one-time volunteer events to long-term volunteer positions.

4. Surfrider Foundation 

Beach cleanups are a fun and easy way to volunteer your time by helping to keep our beaches and ocean clean.

Surfrider Foundation provides the bags, hand sanitizer, and a gorgeous view and if you're in need of community service hours they have certificates of completion available. Their cleanups are welcome to individuals of all ages, schools clubs, Scouts, companies, and other large groups. We're always looking for volunteers to help out at the booth as well as participate in the cleanups. Learn more about this opportunity here.

5. Huntington Dog Beach
