Young Friends of Jupiter Beach

Young Friends of Jupiter Beach

Young Friends of Jupiter Beach, a group of high school students who care about the environment, was started by Graham Zucker, a high school student at William T. Dwyer High School. The 3rd Sunday of the month, at 4 PM, the students gather at Ocean Cay Park for a beach cleanup. The students are becoming the next generation of environmental stewards and know the importance of preserving Jupiter’s beaches, its’ habitat, and marine life for future generations. Students from local and neighboring middle and high schools are invited to join the group. After the beach cleanups, the students gather for volleyball games and snacks. As the group grows they continue to look for other ways to expand its environmental preservation message.

Community service hours awarded. For more information contact hello@friendsofjupiterbeach.org
