Beach Clean-Up

Save to Favorites

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

We will be meeting at the Ventura Lodge in Downtown Ventura and walking over to the pier. Supplies will be provided. Thank you for dedicating your time to us! Children under the age of 18 must have an adult present. All participants must sign a waiver form.

 Please wear shoes while cleaning up the beach -be on the lookout for broken glass, coat hangers, wood with protruding nails and other sharp items. These items should be put directly in the trash can and should only be handled by adults.

 Be careful around the fire rings - there could be hot coals inside and around the edges. Please make sure that any children in your group do not play too close to the fire rings.

 Please don’t pick up heavy items like logs or things that have a lot of sand embedded in them. Please notify maintenance or a park employee to arrange for it to be picked up.

 Though not likely, if you do see a dead or injured animal, please don’t pick it up. Notify park staff and we will either bury the animal or take it to the wildlife rescue center.

 Make sure to wear your gloves at all times while picking up trash. Though they are rarely found, do not pick up syringes. Mark the spot and notify park staff. We will have a lifeguard or maintenance pick it up.

 If you decide to spend time at the beach after your beach clean up is over, please ask a lifeguard about the swimming/surf conditions. Be aware that we have strong currents and stay close to shore. Thanks again and have a great time!

Who may volunteer:

We do limit volunteering to girls within the age range of 11-20 and accompanying parents/guardians, grandparents and siblings only. While we appreciate adult volunteer requests we have received, we typically only take adult volunteers from our pool of parents and majority members who have been background screened as a safety precaution for the girls.

Scholarships / Service Hour Verifications for Schools
We are happy to provide service hours for school requirements, scholarships and applications. As we get to know the girls, many adults end up writing letters of recommendations for these young ladies. The leadership positions, service hours and involvement also look great on college applications.
