What we offer you:
You get to be a part of an international team of more than 20 countries and most important of all – you get to make history helping to organise the biggest cleanup action ever! Mediterranean Sea is heavily polluted by plastic and this is causing problems for sea life and for us, people. The plastic chemicals are affecting the development of life in the Mediterranean and end up in our food chain. However, with raising awareness, this can be changed!
Let’s Do It! Mediterranean is part of
Let’s Do It! World global action, which unites 111 countries and has involved 9 million people to take part of voluntary cleanup actions all over the world. The movement has grown from a small one country action into a global action within just few years. You will have plenty of opportunities to be creative, achieve and fulfil your dreams and plans with us!

We need a person with good English skills, any other bigger Mediterranean region (French, Arabic, Spanish, Italian) language skills are a bonus.
