SUMMARY:ChiPride Volunteering + Alliance for the Great Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Alliance for the Great Lakes – Beach Cleanup \nWhen: Sunday\, June 1st\, 2025\nTime: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm\nLocation: Kathy Osterman (Hollywood) Beach 5800 N DuSable Lake Shore Dr\, Chicago\, IL 60660 \nTotal Spots Available: 40 \nDescription: Join LGBTQ+ and Ally Volunteers as we partner with Alliance for the Great Lakes. Volunteers will work together to pick up and document litter on the beach. After the beach is cleaned up\, all the items will be added up and weighed. Trash will then be thrown away while recyclable items will be recycled. Along with data from beaches from all the different coasts of the Great Lakes\, the site’s documented beach clean up data is tallied and sent to Alliance for the Great Lakes. The data is collected and used in research on the pollution around the Great Lakes. \nVolunteers should wear weather appropriate attire suitable for walking on the beach and in the surrounding park. We suggest these additional items: \n\nSunscreen\nHat and/or sunglasses\nRefillable water bottle\n\nAlliance for the Great Lakes will provide disposable gloves and trashbags. \n\nAlliance for the Great Lakes Mission: To protect\, conserve\, and restore the Great Lakes\, ensuring healthy water in the lakes and in our communities for all generations of people and wildlife. We advance our mission as advocates for policies that support the lakes and communities\, by building the research\, analysis\, and partnerships that motivate action\, and by educating and uniting people as a voice for the Great Lakes. \nEach year\, Alliance for the Great Lakes volunteers remove tens of thousands of pounds of litter from local beaches. About 85% of it is plastic. Together\, volunteers have collected over 20 years of cleanup data. Scientists use this data to study the sources of plastic pollution\, and this information helps decision makers make the case for policies that protect the lakes. \n  \nChipride Volunteering Mission: Chipride Volunteering connects Chicago’s diverse LGBTQ+ community and allies through unified volunteerism.\nWe strive to create a more inclusive city by centralizing opportunities that support a variety of nonprofits\, fostering connection and driving positive change at a local level. \n
