Clean Up San Diego!Some of your very own class mates got involved! You can too!
On November the 22nd local San Diegans joined together at Ocean Dog Beach to clean up the beach! This is an event held twice a month by the non profit organization Coast Keeper. The beach clean up changes in location all the way from Imperial Beach to La Jolla every time, and is held on the 2nd Saturday and 4th Saturday. The group also tests water sheds once a month with trained volunteers. Like our own High Tech High internship program Monica of coast keeper got involved with the program by doing an internship with them because it grasped her interest after college. Brian, a local surfer decided he wanted to be “pro active” in helping keep his hang out spots clean so he started volunteering twice a month. Two women from PETCO volunteer once a month because raises awareness and even if they only volunteer one time a year somebody else will see that and keep the cycle of volunteering going on.
Coast keeper also works with organizations such as Surf rider, and the I love a clean San Diego non profit Adopt a Beach Program and more. Some of our very own high tech high students have joined the crew for their internships! And you can too. If you want to get involved with Coast keeper or want to look at it for an internship next semester you can contact them at: 619-758-7743 or info@sdcoastkeeper.org or you can even check out their website ate www.sdcoastkeeper.org.
