Hudson River Sloop Clearwater
Help Create the Next Generation of Environmental Leaders!
One of Clerawater's greatest assets are our enthusiastic volunteers. If you would like to help protect the Hudson River, meet other like-minded people, contribute to an organization you believe in, and improve your resume and life experiences, then Clearwater has great volunteer opportunitites for you aboard our historic sloop and renowned "floating classroom".
Clearwater looks for volunteers with a passion for teaching, who love young people and are comfortable leading small group activities. You don't need previous sailing experience to volunteer with us, but a background and/or interest in teaching, environmental issues, music or earth sciences are a plus.
Each week from mid-April to the end of October, Clearwater and the Mystic Whaler, our sistership, accept six volunteers to live aboard the boat, help sail our ship and teach our education program. A hundred dollar volunteer fee offsets the cost of food, a volunteer t-shirt, instruction, and helps support our Youth Internships. We provide volunteers with a full day of training from our professional crew to prepare everyone for a week packed with sailing, fishing, teaching, learning and fun.

FOOD Share--Ventura County's Food Bank
Become a Gleaner
Are you looking for an opportunity to create corporate team building experience, collect service hours or introduce youth groups to philanthropy? Our Gleaner program could be your answer!
Volunteer gleaners are out in the fields most days of the week, capturing food that would otherwise be turned over as mulch for the next crop.
Our gleaners are always looking for new opportunities to pick, so please call if you'd like to welcome them to your fields. We also happily answer the call of individuals who in their yards may have more than they can consume.
Please contact our produce coordinator Andy Murphy at 805-983-7100 x 141 for more information.

La Casa de las Madres
Tiny Tickets for a Big Cause
We all have them. At least those of us who ride BART do. Those pesky little change amounts left on those white and blue striped tickets. Not enough to get you home after work or to the city for shopping, but enough for you to hold on to them. You’re in a hurry, you don’t have time to add money to them, what to do?
How about donating them to a good cause? Donate those “Tiny Tickets” to La Casa de las Madres! Do not throw them away.
La Casa has teamed up with the East Bay Community Foundation and BART to collect your unwanted tiny BART tickets and turn them into valuable cash for its nonprofit domestic violence organization and programs.
La Casa needs Tiny Tickets, magnetized or not. La Casa will mail off its collected tickets to BART three times a year, and the transit district will determine a total ticket value. East Bay Community Foundation will then disperse the funds back to La Casa. For more information, the East Bay Foundation is online at www.ebcf.org.
Collect your tickets, ask your friends, your co-workers, your religious groups, those at your cafe. Help spread the word. Please either mail the tickets or drop them off in person to:
La Casa de las Madres
1663 Mission Street, Suite 225
San Francisco, CA 94103
