The “Adopt a Shoreline Project” is a collaborative partnership between Miami Job Corps and the City of Hallandale Beach (CHB). The City is a pillar in the community for its beach clean-up initiatives. Miami Job Corps “Green Team” student volunteers, lead by Independent Living Supervisor Dennis Caffrey, participate in these beach clean-ups, adopting and beautifying a segment of shoreline periodically throughout a span of 4 years. The City of Hallandale Beach recently commemorated these efforts by erecting a sign identifying that the beach has been beautified by Miami Job Corps. The most recent clean-up project occurred on October 1,2011.
