t Takes a Village Cleanup Objectives:
• Reduce Pollution: Reduce the amount of pollution in our waterways by cleaning up trash before it gets into our storm drains, waterways and ocean.

• Youth Education: Partner with schools and youth community groups to train and educate them on the impact of local cleanup efforts.
• Youth Leadership: Give young people the tools to organize their own cleanups by training them and providing them with resources.
