The Marina District Business Association (MDBA), powered by ASCENDtials, offers a variety of volunteer opportunities that support stewardship, beautification, cultural programming, and community connection.

While we continue building our full volunteer portal, all current volunteer roles are hosted through ASCENDtials on Idealist.org.

Whether you’re a resident, tourist, community member, or boat owner, you’re invited to take part in keeping our beaches, coastline, highways, and Kettner Corridor clean, safe, and vibrant.

Current Volunteer Opportunities
All active volunteer roles — including beach cleanups, garden sessions, highway cleanups, market support, and stewardship activities — are listed on our ASCENDtials Idealist page.
