One such giving back opportunity available in the area is through the Friends of St. Helen Park.
This organization is a citizens support organization dedicated to preserving, maintaining, and improving the St. Helen park. Volunteer projects, community events and fundraising are all great ways to get involved. This opportunity provides a fun way to connect with nature and help protect a beautiful environment.
Another opportunity to lend a hand is through the Autism Surfs PCB organization. This group looks to help kids with autism connect with peers and bring out different abilities through water. As a volunteer, you can help check in participants, work in water and food distribution, hop on the beach monitoring team and plenty more.
