Win Jar
We’re thrilled to share that VolunteerCleanup.Org has been selected as the Volunteer of the Quarter by the Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department’s Volunteers in Parks (VIP) Program.
This recognition means a great deal to us, and we’re honored that our ongoing collaboration with Miami-Dade County Parks continues to make a meaningful impact across the region.
🌍 A Year of Impact: FY 2024–2025 Highlights
Our team proudly partnered with the VIP Program to coordinate Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup (ICC)—a global, single-day coastal cleanup initiative. This year, we led the effort for the entire South Florida region, organizing cleanups across 16 Miami-Dade County PROS locations.
ICC Day Results
700+ volunteers participated
1,500+ volunteer hours completed
6,000+ pounds of marine debris removed — in a single day
Year-Round Cleanup Efforts
Beyond ICC Day, we continued working closely with the VIP Program throughout the 2024–2025 fiscal year:
23 cleanup events hosted with PROS
952 volunteers engaged
1,876 total volunteer hours contributed
6,697 pounds of debris removed
Using national averages from the Value of Volunteer Time Report (Independent Sector), these volunteer hours represent a labor cost savings of $59,657 for Miami-Dade County Parks.
We are immensely proud of the volunteers who made this possible—and grateful to the VIP Program for recognizing the value and impact of our shared mission.
