Beach Clean Up
Volleyball United x Volleyball Canada x A Greener Future
Let’s wrap up beach season the right way!
Join us on August 17th from 5pm - 7pm for an End-of-Season Sunset Clean-Up at Toronto’s Eastern Beaches. After a summer of serving, spiking, and celebrating our sport at Volleyball Beach Nationals, Provincials, and beyond, it’s our turn to give back to the shoreline we all enjoy.
Bring your friends, teammates, and families - together, we’ll tidy up the sand and show our appreciation for the community spaces that keep our game alive.
🏐 Why You Should Join Us:
✅ Help restore Ashbridges Bay after a major national sporting event
✅ Support a unique partnership between sport and sustainability
✅ Connect with like-minded volunteers and eco-conscious athletes
✅ Earn high school volunteer hours (bring your form!)
✅ Make a real difference for Lake Ontario and your community
Let’s leave the beach better than we found it!
This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to the environment and our 12 Good Deeds of 2025 campaign. It is part of A Greener Future’s Love Your Lakes program, which has already removed over 1.6 million pieces of litter from the Great Lakes region.

Tree Planting in Scarborough
As part of Volleyball United’s 12 Good Deeds of 2025, our team and volunteers gathered in Scarborough on May 14th to take part in a meaningful environmental initiative. Together, we joined the City of Toronto in planting 275 native trees and shrubs at a local park to help grow and restore a thriving urban forest.
This effort supports our commitment to environmental stewardship and reflects our belief that the volleyball community has the power to make a difference far beyond the court. Thank you to everyone who joined us — your time and energy made a lasting impact on the local ecosystem and community.

Volleyball United is proud to support YWCA Toronto as part of our 12 Good Deeds of 2025 initiative and in honour of International Women’s Day (March 8) and Women’s History Month!
YWCA Toronto has been a leader since 1873, providing shelter, housing, employment training, leadership programs, and advocacy for women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Our in-kind donation is one way we’re taking action to support their mission of promoting equality, economic security, and lives free from violence. This March, we celebrate the strength and resilience of women everywhere and are honoured to contribute to this vital cause.

At Volleyball United, we believe in the power of community — on and off the court. We Take Care of Our Own is a program designed to provide support to members of the volleyball community in times of need. We're here to step up and rally around our own. If you or someone you know could use a helping hand, we encourage you to apply. Together, we ensure that no one in our volleyball family is left behind.
We take care of our own
*While we strive to support those in need, our resources are limited. We will do our best to provide assistance where we can, but support is not guaranteed.
