Volunteer Needs:
+++++ Beach Cleanups & ECO Art Treasure Sorting/Hunting - Each month, on the 3rd Saturday from 8:00 to noon, we are the Front Lines of Surfriders' Beach Cleanup at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. Surfrider volunteers clean the beaches then dump their finds in our tubs. Be Creative Zone volunteers sort them into Returnables, Recyclables and Trash/Treasures. Before items are deemed trash and head to their final destination (the landfill), volunteers get an opportunity to assess the viability of it remaining use. Can we clean and reuse for funky art? Can we get creative with it and upcycle it to something new? Participants are challenged to get their ""Creative ECO Art"" quick thinking caps on. As found items are sorted, we collaborate on Eco Art and other creative environmental stewardship ideas. At the end of the day, volunteers are outraged, moved to take action and inspired to be a part of the solution. +++++ Experiential Cleaning and Creative Conversations for ReUse - After each Beach Cleanup still useful found items need to be cleaned and sort for reuse. Witness firsthand the still usefulness of stuff once it gets cleaned. Reuse is an important part of a circular economy and personal environmental stewardship. Participants get to the experience the peace filled nature of cleaning still useful items, as well as get an opportunity to talk about what can be done with the found items. Creativity abounds. Date and time flexible. +++++ Grant Writing - With our assistance, research grant opportunities and write grant proposals for various ECO Creative programs. +++++ Website Design & Development - Work with us to revamp our website. From copy writing to design to application development, every aspect of a dynamic WORDPRESS website is needed. +++++ Create ECO Art and other ECO Stewardship Content - ReUse and Upcycle ideas. Come up with or find creative activities for the ""SAVED from the Landfill"" items we have in our storage. (Beach finds are only one source.) Document or create videos to teach people your ReUse idea or Funky Art activity for use on our website and social media. +++++ Business or Strategic Plan (501c3 nonprofit) - Help us create our 10-year Strategic Plan. +++++ We can accommodate 10 volunteers and can provide at least 15 hours of service to volunteers. We especially welcome volunteers who are studying Web Design, Business, Software Development, Environmental Studies, and Art. Our organization does not require a background check or volunteer orientation, but we do require volunteers to complete a volunteer application.

Our Residential Services volunteer will help plan activities for our youth between the ages of 12-18 that have suffered from abuse and neglect. We are always looking for volunteers to help us in admin with tasks such as stuffing envelopes, soliciting businesses for auction items, help with organizing/cleaning projects, and assisting with projects that come up on a monthly basis. We have three big fundraisers throughout the year that help us raise money for our youth so we are constantly needing bartenders, check-in assistants, runners, etc. We require all volunteers who are working directly with our youth to: undergo an interview, provide proof of immunizations, a TB test, and a background check. If you are assisting us with our fundraiser events & in admin, you do not need to complete all of these background check steps. You do not need to be enrolled in a specific course in order to volunteer with us. We are always having projects in our facility in San Marcos & Oceanside, so we'd love to set something up as a group. We do need lots of help organizing the donation room we have in our Oceanside location so if we could a group for this project, that would be a huge help. During the Holidays, we receive lots of donations so we try to have these rooms as stocked and organized as we can. We can have several students in different departments so feel free to reach out to us with any questions.

Approximately once a month, Solana Center hosts Build & Beautify events, where you will help beautify our grounds, creating a space for engaging our community in our sustainable offerings. Activities vary each month and may include gardening and pruning, chipping and moving mulch, maintaining tools and organizing supplies. We also host Worm Wranglin' events! This is an opportunity to get involved in the vermicomposting process while you help our staff separate worms from their castings, sift castings, and build new worm beds. Finally, we need help at community outreach events, which typically require volunteers that have volunteered for at least two of the aforementioned volunteer opportunities. Volunteers will help educators run our composting booths to provide community resources, as well as accompany educators to schools where we teach kids about composting and zero waste practices. Volunteer events can accommodate groups of 5, while outreach events typically need 1 to 2 volunteers. We offer one time volunteer opportunities and recurring volunteer opportunities. Also, volunteers must complete an application, but do not need to complete a background check or orientation.
