BEACH CLEAN-UPS AND VOLUNTEER EVENTS
Welcome potential volunteers! We have many different opportunities for people and groups looking to give back to our beach. Whether you are looking for a long term commitment or a one day event, we can accommodate your request.

                                      *ALL FORMS ARE DUE AT LEAST 15 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF YOUR EVENT.*

ADOPT-A-BEACH
This is for groups that would like to participate in more than one clean-up a year. The Adopt-A-Beach program has groups dedicate 3 days a year to help keep our beaches clean and upon completion of your third clean-up, your group receives a certificate of recognition. School groups can fulfill the obligation with a single clean-up. This activity is sponsored by the California Coastal Commission.

LONG TERM VOLUNTEERS
Long term volunteers are those that would like to give more than 3 days of volunteer work a year. The only current opportunity we offer is through our partnership with the Amigos de Bolsa Chica and their FLOW program (Follow and Learn about Oceans and Wetlands). Throughout the year we have school groups that come to our beaches to participate in the citizen scientist program and we need volunteers who can help us provide a great field trip experience. Read more about the FLOW program by clicking here. If you are interested in this particular opportunity, please contact: flow@amigosdebolsachica.org

SCOUT PROJECTS & OTHER VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
If you are a scout group that would like to give your service to our beach, we have half day, full day, and complex projects available.

For groups that would like to volunteer but would like a different activity than participating in a beach clean-up, we have other opportunities such as native planting that your group can participate in. We are flexible if your group has a special interest.

There are larger, public days of service such as Earth Day at the Beach (April) and Coastal Clean-up Day (September).

For more information about any of these opportunities, please contact Elizabeth Bailey at Elizabeth.Bailey@parks.ca.gov

Bolsa Chica State Beach boasts a beautiful beachside campground that attracts thousands of visitors a year. We have a full schedule of camp hosts but if an opportunity arises, we would love to have you! For more information, please contact Steven Hicks at Steven.Hicks@parks.ca.gov
