I’ve volunteered with Los Padres ForestWatch for two years, and they continuously go above and beyond to get volunteers excited for the volunteer opportunities they offer, that you almost feel like you aren’t volunteering at all! LPFW truly cares about our forests and their volunteer outings. My two children who are 8 and 9, love volunteering with LPFW. In my opinion if you can get kids excited about picking up trash and saving the Earth early on a Saturday morning then you are exceeding as a nonprofit.
