Brief Introduction

Congratulations on completing the first two Trash Blasting courses. You are now ready to complete your plan.

Description

“An estimated 17 billion pounds of trash flow into the ocean every year.”

How do we keep our ocean trash free? Your leadership is urgent and critical!

Clean water programs for small organizations are often limited to managing annual shoreline cleanups. This grossly underestimates your leadership abilities. Shorecombers offers a series of dynamic courses for you the front line volunteers who are dedicated to saving your piece of paradise be it a beach, river, creek, lake or wetland. We aim to answer the often asked question: “How can I make the biggest difference?”

It’s time for you to move beyond just picking up trash a few times a year towards stopping the trash all together with sustainable programs you love.

In our online workshop you will master the skills to dramatically increase your effectiveness with a clear plan of action. You will develop and expand on you programs to gather more funding, sponsors and quality volunteers making you more sustainable and effective. According to BJ Smith, founder of Shorecombers “You don’t have to be a clean water group to make a difference. We train individuals and groups who care about clean water. They can be surfers, birdwatchers, anglers, boaters, or people who live along the river and sea shore. We train small groups and individuals because they are the foot soldiers most likely to carry out the work on the ground.”

Brainstorm Dynamic Activities. Now you are a leading trash authority with a lot of hard facts about the trash in your territory and your community. You will be leading your stakeholders and community in creating powerful activities that drive funders, sponsors and volunteers to your cause.

Write Your Plan. You will have more than enough information to create a beautiful and fact filled 15-35 page Trash Blast plan full of stakeholders, activities, data, photos, maps and more. You'll learn how to make this the plan that will win you grants and sponsors.
