Help reduce plastic at the source and invite restaurants to join the program!
Make an Impact
As an Ocean Friendly Restaurant (OFR) volunteer, you can help inform and reform the way we eat out. Volunteers support this program by introducing restaurants to the OFR program, educate managers and owners on the impacts of plastic pollution to their community, and preform compliance checks to ensure our OFR's are on the right track.
Watch an OFR volunteer in action! Learn how to manage the three most common scenarios when connecting to restaurants about OFRs.
As an OFR volunteer,
here are 3 easy ways to get started!
Restaurant Outreach
Reach out to restaurants and invite them to join the program. Help them through the registration process!
Community Outreach
Promote OFR by tabling and presenting at community events around the County!
Restaurant Visits
We want to make sure our OFR's are compliant with our OFR criteria. Schedule and perform compliance checks.
