Keeping our Great Lakes beaches clean starts with you! Adopt-a-Beach cleanups are a fun, free, easy way to give back to your community and keep plastic pollution out of our Great Lakes. It’s easy to jump right into the Adopt-a-Beach community. Join a cleanup today!

The Alliance for the Great Lakes is a nonpartisan nonprofit working across the Great Lakes region to protect our most precious resource: the fresh, clean, and natural waters of the Great Lakes. We are active in advocacy, volunteering, education, and research.

Each year, through the Adopt-a-Beach program , thousands of volunteers work to keep the Great Lakes shorelines healthy by removing litter from our beaches and collecting important data.

Join the Adopt-a-Beach movement today! You can take part in two ways:

1. Find an Adopt-a-Beach cleanup near you and sign up . A Team Leader will meet you at the beach with all the supplies!

1. You can also become a Team Leader and host your own cleanup with friends, family, or community members. This is a great opportunity to keep your community beautiful and engage those around you. We have lots of resources to help you organize a successful cleanup!

We hope to see you on the beach this season!
