JCI Santa Clarita Hosts Clean It Up! Coastal Cleanup Day

JCI Santa Clarita, a local young professional organization that teaches leadership development through community impact is traveling down to the beaches of Ventura, CA to participate in Coastal Cleanup Day. Coastal Cleanup Day is a worldwide project to raise awareness on global pollution, where volunteers clean coastal areas and help prevent single-use plastic items from flowing into the ocean.
Feel the sand between your toes and step out of Santa Clarita to make an impact on our coastal areas. JCI Santa Clarita will be organizing an in-person, physically distanced volunteer event to make an impact on Santa Clarita’s closest coastal outlet, Ventura. Due to COVID-19, Ventura County’s 36th Annual Coastal Cleanup will take place every Saturday throughout September.
At last year’s Coastal Cleanup Day, Ventura County reported that they removed over 17,000 pounds of trash and recyclables. The beaches of Ventura are frequently visited by Santa Clarita residents, and JCI Santa Clarita embraces the challenge to support long-term sustainability that our community can continue to enjoy.
The volunteer event will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2020 from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM starting at Marina Park in Ventura. To register for this event, please sign-up through Eventbrite website or app.
The event is free to all registrants. With respect to physical distancing guidelines, we ask that you coordinate with others on driving arrangements. Please be sure to bring your mask, gloves and any other equipment with you. JCI Santa Clarita will help provide a limited number of cleanup equipment the day of the event.
