Get Involved
|
There are many ways to get involved in the local environmental community. In addition to volunteering at a local or national non-profit organization, you can participate in Santa Monica’s numerous innovative community outreach programs. From participating in a local chapter of “Sustainable Works” to working with the school garden programs, you can get involved!
