Kids for Clean Water, Inc. seeks to promote a clean and healthy environment and to encourage and empower kids to be active and engaged advocates for clean water in their communities.  Kid led programs educate peers and engage communities to increase awareness and encourage action to reduce the amount of trash, debris, and pollution in our waterways and watersheds.  

Buckets for Hours

 Join the effort to keep our waterways clean and earn community service hours while making a difference! Through our "Buckets for Hours" program, students can help protect our local environment by collecting trash from beaches and waterways—one bucket at a time.

For each bucket of litter collected and disposed of, participants earn one community service hour, gaining both hands-on experience in environmental stewardship and the opportunity to make a visible impact on their community. Whether you’re passionate about keeping the ocean clean, looking for a way to fulfill service hour requirements, or just wanting to spend some time outdoors, this program is a great way to contribute to a healthier coast.


How it Works:

  1. Grab a Bucket: Head to your nearest beach, park, canal, or other waterway with a bucket or container, and start collecting litter.
  2. Log Your Hours: For every bucket you collect, you earn one community service hour.
  3. Photograph Your Progress: Take a photo of each bucket of trash that you collect. Make sure the photo clearly shows all the trash you’ve gathered.
  4. Upload & Verify: Upload your photos and log your cleanup details on our website so we can verify and track your hours.
  5. Get Your Cleanup Certificate: Once verified, we’ll email you a certificate documenting your community service hours. If you provide contact information for a parent or school community service coordinator, we can also send them a copy.
  6. Make a Difference: As you clean, you’re not only earning service hours—you’re actively protecting wildlife and helping the planet.
  7. Spread the Word: Encourage friends and family to join! The more people helping to clean our waterways, the bigger the impact.


This program is ideal for students, clubs, or anyone interested in protecting the environment while fulfilling their service hours. Every bucket makes a difference—join Kids Clean Water "Buckets for Hours" today, and help us keep our waterways clean!
