Local Organizations

Rescue a Reef is the University of Miami’s coral restoration program, designed to support research and revival activities to save local staghorn coral populations on Miami’s coral reefs. Rescue A Reef expeditions are led by UM researchers, and provide a unique, hands-on education experience for recreational divers and snorkelers to participate in coral restoration efforts.

Our mission is to educate and engage the local community, increase scientific literacy in coastal and coral reef conservation, and foster ocean stewardship.

Our babies grow and change so quickly that the clothing and gear they once used stays durable and can be passed on. By donating to WeeCycle, a twofold gift is given: Not only are you providing children from struggling families with the clothing and gear they need to live their first years safely and happily, you are practicing good stewardship of the planet that all of our babies will one day inherit.

Our Mission

I Love A Clean San Diego leads and inspires our community to actively conserve and enhance the environment through example, outreach, and local involvement.

Our Vision

We take pride in making it as easy as possible to for you to volunteer with us! We offer several volunteer programs: monthly community cleanups, two annual countywide cleanups, and independent volunteer opportunities that you arrange on your own schedule!

SHADES OF GREEN is a live, one-hour Austin talk radio show that features issues and guests related to sustainability and the environment. Our topics include climate change, zero waste, organic gardening, conservation, efficiency, energy policy, environmental wellbeing and more.

The Green Streets Initiative is a Cambridge, MA based organization, founded in 2006. We are dedicated to celebrating and promoting the use of sustainable and active transportation in the Boston region and beyond.

Our mission is to get people to rethink their commutes through our monthly Walk/Ride Days. For most people, commuting is a thoughtless action, just a repetitive extension to their morning routine. Walk/Ride Days were started to combat this gap by encouraging people to become more aware of their transportation options and to increase the dialogue about the alternatives.

Keep Denver Beautiful, a program of Denver’s Solid Waste Management, enhances our city by addressing problems of graffiti and litter through volunteer projects and educational programs.

From major projects such as the Great American Cleanup to furnishing a few trash bags for informal alley cleanups, Keep Denver Beautiful strives to give you the support you want by coordinating the efforts of neighborhood residents, volunteer groups and Solid Waste Management.

Urban Rivers is a Chicago-based nonprofit, looking for donations and volunteers as we create a park on the east side of Goose Island in the Chicago River, along the banks of Whole Foods' Lincoln Park store.

As of June 2017, the park grew to 1,500 square feet, and we are now fundraising for an additional 25,000 square feet that will be installed in 2018.

Our larger goal is a mile-long park by 2020!

Habitat 2030 is a group of volunteers who care about the remarkable natural areas of the Chicago region.

We host habitat restoration workdays, nature hikes and weekend camping trips, social gatherings and educational opportunities.

On workdays, we remove invasive plants, gather and spread seeds, and learn about nature as we go.

Through our work, we link interested newbies to expert mentors to build a community where people of all skill levels can discuss local ecology, conservation and habitat-restoration issues.
