Save Our Shores Seeks Sanctuary Stewards!

Volunteer Training for Individuals Interested in Becoming Stewards of our Coastline

(Santa Cruz, CA) Save Our Shores (SOS), the leader in ocean awareness, advocacy and action on the Central Coast, announced today that their next Volunteer training has been scheduled for January 7, 2014. Save Our Shores Sanctuary Steward Program gives the community an opportunity to become guardians of our coastline. Sanctuary Stewards are the backbone of Save Our Shores. Stewards lead Save Our Shores public events, engage our community with the ocean and show how our choices impact it every day.

The training will be held at the Save Our Shores Office in the Santa Cruz Harbor. Volunteers will be trained how to lead beach and river cleanups, tabling events, learn about the threats facing our oceans today and how this information can be shared to empower others.

“The Steward Program brings people together who all share a common interest and passion in our beautiful blue backyard. As a former Steward of 2010, I can assure you it brings amazing people into your life. People you wouldn’t normally connect with in the grocery store or at a gas station.” said Marina Maze, Program Coordinator at Save Our Shores.

Any interested individuals are encouraged to come to 345 Lake Avenue, Suite A from 5:30-9pm on January 7 2014. Snacks and beverages will be provided. Interested individuals should fill out the Sanctuary Steward Application on the SOS website (www.saveourshores/stewards).

Save Our Shores would not exist without these fabulous Sanctuary Stewards, they are the drivers that make SOS such a community driven organization!
