Volunteer

Volunteers are the lifeblood of Friends of Jupiter Beach! Our key volunteers provide an extra measure of leadership, creativity and a level of constant energy that keeps the organization humming.The combined years of experience of our Team Captains alone is over 100 years!

Team Captains, in bright orange shirts, lead volunteers safely and efficiently to 11 different sections along Jupiter’s shoreline, supervising clean up, staging and weighing of garbage & recyclables.

Breakfast and Welcome captains, in blue shirts, usher everyone in to the sign-in and team dispatching area with warm welcomes, then begin preparations for the free continental breakfast that all volunteers are treated to on their return from picking up garbage.

Volunteers also bake for the cleanups, capture and share vivid images of our events through photography and videography, act as beach ambassadors, take on myriad tasks during our fundraising efforts, provide expert help with computers, graphics and back office support, fill dog bag boxes, plan social events, recruit sponsors and new Friends, run errands, and just about any task you can imagine!

Beach ambassadors

No set schedules, no set times…you share the information when YOU want to go to the beach! As an ambassador at the beach, share information with dog owners about FJB, our mission (since 1994) to keep Jupiter beach clean and dog-friendly, the dog bags we provide FREE to visitors, our monthly beach cleanups, and dog beach etiquette.

Pick up trash on the beach.

Here’s how you can get started:

Contact Mary Aguiar at 561-748-8140

Receive FJB t-shirt for a $20 donation.

When you go to the beach, wear your t-shirt.  Talk to as many dog owners as possible.  You’ll find that many already know and support FJB!

Interactions always POSITIVE!  If you witness unacceptable/dangerous behavior, call the Jupiter Police Department non-emergency line:  746-6201 Do not take matters into your own hands.  We never ask for donations

Dog Beach Ambassadors

Individuals or pairs will walk the dog beach/ sidewalk in Jupiter and invite beach goers to sign up to receive FJB’s newsletters and announcements. People love to take their dogs to the beach and many do not know that this beach has been made possible by Friends of Jupiter Beach. You will share information with dog owners about FJB, our mission (for 20 years) to keep Jupiter Beach clean and dog-friendly. The dog bags we provide are FREE to visitors, our monthly beach cleanups, dog beach etiquette AND ask them for their e-mail address to receive our newsletter and announcements. Get a beach day and help us keep our beach clean and dog friendly. Community service hours may be given.

Our beach cleanup & special event volunteers are the catalysts for the wonderful impact Friends of Jupiter Beach is making toward the care and conservation of our precious beach & marine environment. Everyone is welcome to join in!
