(Community Service Day 2026) Saving the Shoreline: Beach Clean-up with Atlantic Marine Conservation Society (AMSEAS)

ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY:

Join us for an exciting annual tradition, Community Service Day, which is a highlight of Welcome Week! This event offers incoming Seawolves a chance to engage in various service projects, both within and beyond the campus, throughout the day. As a token of appreciation, participants will be gifted lunch courtesy of Jersey Mike's Subs and a complimentary t-shirt (while supplies last). Check-in begins at 8:30AM in the Student Activities Center Auditorium, with our official kickoff at 9:00AM. Volunteers will be guided to their projects to begin at 10:00AM. For most projects, the day is estimated to conclude by 2pm (some off-campus projects may return to campus closer to 3pm). Be part of this impactful day as we come together to give back to the community!

ABOUT THIS SERVICE PROJECT:

Join the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society (AMSEAS) for a meaningful day of service supporting local marine wildlife and coastal ecosystems. AMSEAS works to preserve and protect marine mammals and sea turtles through rescue, rehabilitation, research, and education efforts across Long Island. Students will gain insight into marine conservation while making a positive environmental impact in the local community. Volunteers will assist with beach clean-up. Volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor activities. We recommend bringing sunscreen and a refillable water bottle. Transportation will be provided for this off-campus trip. 

Note: If the maximum number of guests are registered to attend this project, you may join the waitlist or view the Center for Service Learning and Community Service page to register for another Community Service Day project. You are still welcome to join us on August 21st if you remain on the waitlist - we will be happy to match you to projects with open availability!
