Join us at Lake Merritt for a large-scale shoreline and park clean-up focused on helping restore one of Oakland’s most loved community spaces. Volunteers will help collect litter, separate recyclables, and dispose of waste throughout the surrounding paths and park areas.
This is a hands-on outdoor project that includes walking, bending, and carrying bags, making it a great fit for youth and adults who enjoy active service projects. By the end of the morning, the impact will be visible through cleaner trails, safer public spaces, and a healthier environment for the community and local wildlife.
Serving at Lake Merritt is about more than picking up trash — it’s about caring for Oakland and helping create a cleaner, more welcoming space for the thousands of people who gather here each week.
