Background
Under the auspices of the City of Lake Elsinore, Clean Extreme had its inception in 2014 as a result of a unique city and district collaboration. Today, over 700 community volunteers turn out for this annual event, taking pride in lasting beautification projects throughout the city. The 'Clean Extreme' steering committee comprised of businesses, the City of Lake Elsinore, Elsinore Valley MWD, LEUSD, local faith based/community-based organizations, and local businesses designates projects and plans each year's event.
Students and family volunteers welcome! (minors 17 and under require a parent with them for waiver signing at check-in).
