With nearly 2.5 million residents sandwiched between the Everglades and Biscayne Bay, plenty of work is needed to keep our environment healthy. As a volunteer you can play a critical role. Whether you’re a school or community group looking for a project, a student looking to fulfill service hours, or an individual looking to make a difference, contact Citizens today to sign up for a community service project. You can also download a Community Science Workshop volunteer job description and application for high school or college students in pdf format.


Here’s a rundown of ongoing service projects for 2008:
