The focus is on how littering on the streets damages the beaches, ocean and marine animals. Kids Ocean Day provides free, interactive presentations to high-needs students in Los Angeles area schools. Kids Ocean Day educates students on their environmental impact and the steps they can take to heal our planet. At the conclusion of the program, all participating schools come together for a one-day beach clean-up and art event— bringing thousands of kids to experience the beach and discover the beauty of the ocean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8e329981777e2a2c2dc8ef/1615934828069-EX0OCBNULQ06AP465YX6/volunteers-home.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8e329981777e2a2c2dc8ef/1615934644580-0RUJD26WCYCCID2JZ3CG/sos-2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8e329981777e2a2c2dc8ef/1615934753188-BXMASTU6J54KR0A2LS42/seal-2.png Home https://www.kidsoceanday.org/press daily 0.75 2023-07-01 https://www.kidsoceanday.org/volunteer daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8e329981777e2a2c2dc8ef/1606865359710-Q03U2ET0GM28TJFP2GYN/Volunteers-3.png Volunteer - Help make a real difference in the lives of thousands of kids We’re always looking for volunteers to help at the beach event — from registration, setting up aerial art, to all the way through break-down.

By bringing classroom lessons and the school assembly to life, the day helps enhance what students have learned by directly connecting kids to nature. Kids participate in a beach clean-up, create Aerial Art and spend the afternoon playing in the sand. It is a tangible and compelling way to focus their attention on the issues of local pollution and foster a sense of personal responsibility. At the same time, it allows kids to bask in the wonders of the ocean and the beach. These field trips have been the most magical part of the environmental education program. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8e329981777e2a2c2dc8ef/1608150095364-PV13PY4MH1QGXYS6PY43/community.png Our Story - Meeting community needs in Los Angeles The children of Los Angeles are often overwhelmed with negative information about their environment — crime, poverty, earthquakes, lack of jobs and the deterioration of nature, including urban run-off, marine debris, beach litter and plastic. The Kids Ocean Day program aims to shine a light on the beauty in this world and the positive effects these kids can have on it. By giving them access to valuable information and a chance to experience the beauty of the beach, we are motivating them to alter their lifestyle for the better and make a difference in the world. https://www.kidsoceanday.org/legal daily 0.75 2020-12-28 https://www.kidsoceanday.org/thank-you daily 0.75 2021-01-08 https://www.kidsoceanday.org/videos daily 0.75 2025-01-14 https://www.kidsoceanday.org/art-contest-winners daily 0.75 2021-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8e329981777e2a2c2dc8ef/1623098701542-NSIZK2V3AMDRIRBGUSG8/KOD-ART-Contest-Statewide-1st-Place_Tracy-N._Orange-County.jpg Art Contest 2021 - Make it stand out Submitter: Julie Vo Student Artist: Tracy N.
