Keep Oakland Beautiful is an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful (KAB), a national nonprofit organization. KAB’s mission is to engage citizens in taking personal responsibility for improving their community environments. KAB has established diverse, highly effective programs that instill community pride and produce tangible local benefits for years to come.
For Oakland to reap the full benefits of belonging to this national effort, it takes dedicated individuals to play a critical role in this endeavor. For the last two decades, Keep Oakland Beautiful board members share their time and expertise as volunteer leaders of Keep Oakland Beautiful. Our board members run and support the Community Grant Program, Daffodil Days, cleanups throughout the city and celebrate the work our community does each day through our annual Earth Day Celebration.
Measurement and accountability are cornerstones of Keep America Beautiful and its affiliates. KAB’s Litter Index is an essential part of the planning and education process to address the littered conditions of cities nationwide.
