Global Citizen Festival Volunteer Day: Canarsie Pier Beach Cleanup

Event Details

Canarsie Pier, Canarsie Veterans Cir, NY, 11236

Global Citizen Festival Canarsie Pier Beach Cleanup, September 19th, 2025

This September, international advocacy organization Global Citizen is activating its mission to end poverty and defend the planet right here in New York City, with opportunities to volunteer in the lead-up to the 2025 Global Citizen Festival.

Global Citizen, in partnership with the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, supported by Goodera, alongside the Black Surfing Association East Coast Chapter, will host a shoreline cleanup at Gateway National Recreation Area’s Canarsie Pier on Friday, September 19th.

This initiative offers a hands-on way to defend the planet and help protect New York City’s coastline. Global citizens who participate can earn free festival tickets by helping to remove trash and marine debris from the shores, contributing to a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient Jamaica Bay for wildlife and future generations. Together, we’ll uplift community stewardship and demonstrate the power of local action to drive meaningful environmental change and defend the planet.
