Hot, Hot, Hot! What's Up for Volunteers
Join us for the annual Fifth of July Beach Clean Up, from 9 a.m. to noon on July 5. Bring your friends and family out to clean up Del Monte Beach and enjoy free lunch afterwards. In a few hours, help restore a mess back to a beautiful beach! Let Volunteer Services know you’ll be there.

  • Be a Homework Pal and help elementary school students master concepts and complete difficult homework with success! An orientation and training will be held
    Aug. 9. Call Homework Pals Coordinator Dina Stansbury at 646.5604 for more details.
  • Have you ever pulled weeds from underwater? Marine Research Volunteers are “weeding” the Harbor of an invasive species of kelp before it edges out our native plants.
