Tuition is $10 per family and children under 11 must be accompanied by adult.

This workshop is action packed and family focused. Adults and Children are welcome and encouraged to participate as a family. Children under 11 must be accompanied by an adult. $10 per family tuition includes Ocean Helper grabbers and art supplies - and you get to take your Ocean Helper grabber home with you! Please bring your own bag lunch - lemonade and art supplies will be provided. The goal is to educate and empower children and their families to pick up plastic and Styrofoam so it does not end up in the oceans. The activities will include crafts and a practice trash pick-up at Gualala Arts. Our educational, entertaining and enlightened presentations outline the major challenges with plastic in the oceans - and we also provide a quick and easy SOLUTION and a CALL TO ACTION!

Funded by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Conservation Fund, funds are used to purchase trash grabbers to give away to schools and community organizations. By providing trash grabbers, everyone can pick up plastic and Styrofoam - everywhere and every day.

Ocean Helpers also organizes community trash pickup days as well as its classroom and school assembly presentations. We go beyond annual beach clean ups and encourage picking up plastic and Styrofoam all year long! Locations targeted for trash pickup days are community centers, public areas, abandoned and vacant lots, side streets, and around schools and shopping centers.
