PA CleanWays has a variety of opportunities through which individuals, corporations, schools, and other groups and organizations can help to support our mission.

If you would like to volunteer for PA CleanWays, please contact us by submitting an online Volunteer Interest Response Form.

Here is a sampling of volunteer activities available (please note some opportunities require training):

Litter and Dump Cleanups
Do you want to make a difference in ways you can see in your own community? If so, a PA CleanWays chapter or affiliate can help you get started on reducing dumping and littering in your community. If a chapter or affiliate isn't nearby, you can order resources for organizing a cleanup from PA CleanWays. Our cleanup program is known for its emphasis on safety, effectiveness, and community partnerships.

Public Education/Outreach
Like to speak and teach? Visit a local community group to educate them on implementing cleanups focusing on remediation, enforcement and prevention. Training is required. Enjoy meeting new people? Staff a PA CleanWays' booth at local conferences, fairs and events in your area and educate the public on our mission. You must be a "people person" and have your own transportation.

Site Monitors
Like the outdoors? Hate trash and litter? Site Monitors watch areas that have been cleaned by volunteers to ensure subsequent dumping does not occur. The frequency with which a site will need to be monitored depends on the frequency of the dumping or littering. As a monitor, you will watch over the site and maintain it by removing any small amounts of trash as they occur or by scheduling maintenance cleanups. Additionally, monitors report newly dumped trash to PA CleanWays and contact the appropriate enforcement agency if identifying evidence is found. Some training is required for this opportunity and will be provided by PA CleanWays. Click here to download the Site Monitoring Program Brochure.
