Why Volunteer with A Greener Future?

To put it simply, we’re a small nonprofit, but plastic pollution is a BIG issue. We need all hands on deck to help ensure a cleaner, healthier and “greener” future for generations to come. By volunteering with us you are making a direct impact on the health of our local environment.

Moments We’ve Captured Along the Way

Here’s What Our Volunteers Have to Say

It has been such a great experience in so many ways, just working with the organization, connecting with people in my community and to a certain extent feeling like I am making a difference…but it's about collective action. The more people we get out here the bigger difference we make and even more importantly the greater awareness we bring to everyone. It really is a group effort helping to fix our planet, to clean it up.

- Lee S.
I would 1000% recommend volunteering with A Greener Future, for anyone looking to develop new skills and make a difference within your community, meet some new people. You will find that and more with this organization and will not regret it. They are very welcoming and supportive in everything.

- Eilish N.
...you see the amount that you can collect with all the volunteers together; the number of litter pieces we’ve collected so far it's unreal! It's a great impact and the team is wonderful…it really shows how a small group of individuals can have a big positive impact…I am looking forward to continuing on with them in the years to come.
