Volunteer for a Day

Spring Beach Cleanup March 31st, 2012:
At the SOLV Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup thousands of volunteers head to their favorite spots on the coast. Every beach is cleaned up of litter and marine debris, from the California border to the Columbia River.

SOLVE IT: Join volunteers all over the state for one of the largest Earth Day events in the nation, with roughly 200 volunteer projects. Volunteers will be removing invasive plants from parks and natural areas, cleaning up trash and illegal dumpsites in neighborhoods and along waterways, planting native trees and shrubs to create habitat, and performing maintenance at restoration sites. The 2012 date is Saturday, April 21st.

Beach and Riverside Cleanup September 22nd, 2012: The annual Fall Beach Cleanup has been expanded into the SOLV Beach and Riverside Cleanup. The 2012 cleanup will include river and waterway cleanup projects, in addition to the Oregon coast beach cleanup projects. Many thousands of volunteers will clean up the beaches from the California border to the Columbia River – and work on shores of rivers, creeks, lakes and other waterways throughout Oregon to improve the quality of water that we use for drinking, recreation, agriculture and more.

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

Green Team: SOLV’s Green Team Program guides middle and high school science classes in the Portland Metro area through stream restoration projects at Team Up for Watershed Health sites.

Oregon Adopt-A-River: Care for your very own stretch of river or lake. Adopt-A-River participants adopt their stretch for a two-year period and help with litter cleanup.

Team Up for Watershed Health: Team Up helps restore Portland's urban watersheds, with ongoing work at 72 ecologically significant sites. We have weekly volunteering opportunities October through March and need your help.

SOLV's Project Oregon helps anyone who wants to organize a volunteer project anywhere in Oregon, 365 days a year. SOLV provides some small grants when available, plus planning and organizing help, materials, and coordinator's guide.

K-12 Education: Help students combine service projects in their community with their classroom learning through SOLV's Education curriculum, Students Building Community. SOLV offers the curriculum and training in service-learning to teachers around the state.
