Are you between the ages of 14-18 looking to earn volunteer hours, make new friends, and help protect the environment?

 

CCYC is a one-week immersive experience where you will gain valuable skills in the environmental field doing things like dune restoration, invasive species removal, shoreline surveys, plant identification, and beach clean-ups, while learning about coastal processes, wildlife, and other important  environmental topics. 

Coast Watchers are citizen scientists trained to observe the coast and record coastal environmental data.  Volunteers are asked to monitor the coast once per week from May to October, essentially becoming the “eyes and ears” of the lakeshore.

​

The Coast Watchers season runs from May-October. Please register by the end of April for the upcoming season!​

Through our Green Ribbon Champion program and other shoreline restoration initiatives, we are looking for volunteers to help us remove invasive species, plant native species and dune grass, install sand fencing, and more. If you'd like to make a difference on the shoreline, get your hands dirty, and learn more about plants, coastal processes, and stewarding our Lake Huron beaches, we'd love to have you join us!

​

Opportunities will be posted on our events page as they are available. 

Join us at one of our beach clean-up events near you! Each year, hundreds of volunteers join us to remove thousands of pounds of garbage from the Lake Huron shoreline. These events are a great opportunity to take environmental action while meeting other members of your community. Fun, family-friendly, and impactful, we hope to see you there!​

​​

Beach clean-ups run between April-October.
