Ways to Participate
Join An Event
We hold monthly events across the Kansas City metro from March – October each year. See the schedule below and choose the event you want to join, download and sign the waiver above and show up. Bring your friends, family or co-workers as there is no limit to the number of volunteers per event. All events are BYOK [Bring Your Own Kayak] until donations allow for a provided fleet.
Individual/Family Outing
Kayaking is a relaxing outdoor adventure to be enjoyed individually or with your family. If you find yourself at your favorite lake, stream or pond, regardless of an event or time of day we always urge our friends to take a garbage bag and “grabbers” with them. The best time to help clean up our waterways from trash and debris is anytime. We only ask as you partake in solo missions to send us an email to admin@kayakitup.com and let us know what you picked up [weight, large items, etc.]
Start a Group
Due to the geographic limitations of monthly events, we urge community leaders to form their own group[s] to head up events around their area. If you are interested in starting or leading a group on either a single clean-up effort or a recurring one, reach out and let us know. We would be happy to incorporate your team’s details and information on our website. Ultimately, if we want to reach all communities, we need your leadership and passions to be front and center.
Corporate Team-Building
Thousands of companies partake in team-building exercises, seminars, and events every year. Team building is critical to help any group of individuals to come together outside of their typical environment and work towards a common goal. Team chemistry is critical to the success of any business, corporation, or group which is why we are happy to offer volunteer opportunities for large groups to help themselves grow while improving the community where they work. As a verified non-profit, any donations are tax-deductible and your efforts will make a difference. Contact us for more information about our team-building opportunities.

“I love to kayak and couldn’t believe I never thought to clean up as I went. Learning more about the impact clean waterways have on everyday life across our communities has made me stop and think on many occasions. Kayak It Up is awesome!”
