Make an impact.
There are always upcoming opportunities to make your impact on our community. Take some time to get familiar with our core volunteer programs, then contact us to learn more!
Upcoming Events
Join us as we educate, engage, and empower residents of all ages to make a difference in the environmental health of our communities. We offer a wide array of community improvement initiatives that help to develop individual responsibility, environmental stewardship and community pride. As our community improvement projects are scheduled, they are added to our Upcoming Events page and open for registration to the public. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
Adoption Program
The Adopt-A-Mile Program is a partnership between Keep Pinellas Beautiful (KPB), Pinellas County and local residents. This Program is a great opportunity for individuals, groups and corporations to give back to their communities in a highly visible way. Through this free program, participants will adopt an area of Pinellas County and receive the training and materials necessary to host their own cleanups. Adoptions greatly enhance the appearance of our communities and go a long way in reducing litter and debris from entering our waterways and polluting the natural habitats of our native wildlife.
Annual Cleanups
We conduct two Annual Countywide Cleanup Events. They are the Great American Cleanup (Spring - 3rd Saturday in March) and the International Coastal Cleanup (Fall - 3rd Saturday in October). Volunteers of all ages are welcome!
Community Improvement Projects
KPB engages residents to be a part of our community improvement initiatives to create positive change and a lasting impact within our local communities. We work with community leaders and interested parties (churches/schools/businesses, etc.) to organize projects throughout Pinellas County. These community projects can include cleanups, Florida native species plantings and gardens, tree plantings, invasive species removals, and mulching. If you are interested in hosting a service project for your organization, school, company, etc., please complete our Community Project Inquiry Form.
