DementialFaith · Oct 17, 2003

i just recently started a dive club in my highschool, and in order to attract more ppl to join the club, im trying to find volunteer opportunities for them as divers, but so with no luck so far, does any1 no about any programs in southern california that host volunteer activities like beach clean up and stuff?

If you can't find anything, organize your own!

See if the school will kick in some cash, or do some fundraising. You shouldn't need to raise too much money.

All you need to attract diver's is food

Have a free barbecue on the beach. You can also pick up some inexpensive, dive related prizes, and have a raffle. Use some the prizes for things like most trash recovered, most interesting find etc.....

You get the idea. Just be creative, and have fun with it.

The annual beach (underwater) clean up just took place in September, and I think it was at least all over California.

Get in touch with whomever runs your fav beach (harbormaster?), the other clubs in the locale, etc. I'm sure you'll be able to come up with nice opportunities.

Find a good cause and organize fundraisers! Scuba Olympics, Dive for Dimes...anything you can think of...fun, cheap and raising money...good luck.

You can check out www.padi.com they organize more cleanups in the world than any other organization. They have the project awareness that is an excellent program. The should have some Southern CA. stuff.

Earth Day is in April (I think) you might check with some of the local Dive Shops and see if they have anything planned for then. You have plenty of time to plan an event for it. I remember the 1st Earth Day - that is really dates me
