CSJ  DAY OF SERVICE
APRIL 10TH, 11AM TO 2PM

CSJ makes a practice of giving back to the community where our conference takes place in the form of a Day of Service for our members. We believe that volunteering our time and expertise is a meaningful way to show our appreciation for our host community.

This year our service project was Beach Cleanup Day at Pinones Beach in Loiza.  Thursday, April 10, 2025

Pinones Beach is a less touristy beach used primarily by locals. It also doesn’t get as much attention/resources as the more touristy beaches get. Doing this project is also our way of calling attention to some of the environmental impact of the recent hurricanes on the local communities. Additionally, we would like to call attention to the issue of privatization of beaches in Puerto Rico, which often denies Puerto Ricans access to their local beaches. This is also a way to show solidarity with Puerto Ricans around this issue. Pinones Beach boardwalk has lots of local food vendors, giving us an opportunity to patronize as well.

Thank you to the CSJ Advocacy Committee for organizing this project!
