Some of the volunteer opportunities available are:- Environmental Ambassadors: Staffing environmental exhibits at local events throughout the year (usually during weekends).
- Video Production Assistants: Assisting in taping and production of "Ventura's Environment" (a weekly half-hour cable TV program produced by Ventura Public Works that examines environmental conservation issues in Ventura)
- Composters: Assist in building compost bins and other exhibits at the Ventura College compost demonstration site; assist in Saturday compost workshops; help maintain compost piles and worm bins at Ventura College.
- Household Hazardous Waste Helpers: Checking-in participants and directing traffic at quarterly Household Hazardous Waste events (four Saturdays per year).
- Business Recycling Ambassadors: Assisting Ventura businesses to implement and maintain recycling programs.
