Volunteer in San Diego
Do you want to volunteer in San Diego so you can help our ocean and environment? You’ve come to the right place. We believe that we all have a right to live in a clean and healthy environment, and we all have a responsibility to help keep it that way. That’s why we host opportunities for you to volunteer to protect San Diego’s ocean, beaches, bays and inland waters. We can’t save San Diego’s coastal waters without you.
Volunteering you can do now
Please join us at anytime for our beach cleanups. There's no need to apply to participate (but remember to download and complete the liability waiver). You can also help gather water samples and data for our Water Quality Monitoring program. We host how-to trainings every other month.
You can find the next beach cleanup location and water quality monitoring training on our events calendar.

We also love volunteers who like to commit to larger projects and who want to specialize in specific programs. Read more about San Diego Coastkeeper's work and find a program that interests you.
