We take action on the front lines of environmental protection. From organizing beach cleanups to running awareness campaigns, TirCo Org. rallies volunteers to restore and preserve our beautiful coasts. No beach is too small and no effort is too little – every cleanup drive helps remove plastic waste and protect marine life. In one recent initiative, over 400 professional baseball players from the Dominican Summer League joined our coastal cleanup event, supporting the environment like true championsinstagram.com. By uniting local youth, residents, and even athletes, we turn the act of cleaning beaches into an inspiring community event that shows the power of teamwork in sustainability.
Through creative public awareness campaigns, we also encourage everyone to be part of the change. Small actions today can create a big impact tomorrow – whether it’s properly disposing of trash or reducing single-use plastics. For example, during the busy Easter beach season we launched “Semana Santa Responsable” (“Responsible Holy Week”), urging beachgoers to leave no negative footprint on the sand. We partner with schools and community groups to educate about recycling, conservation, and the importance of keeping our shores clean. By spreading knowledge and inspiring action, TirCo Org. is building a culture of environmental responsibility that will benefit generations to come.
Investing in youth is at the heart of TirCo Org.’s mission. We recognize that many young Dominicans – especially aspiring athletes – have big dreams but often lack opportunities to develop important life skills. In the Dominican Republic, talented baseball prospects sometimes leave school early to pursue their sports careers, creating educational gaps that can hinder their future off the field. To bridge this gap, we lead education programs that empower young people with knowledge beyond the classroom.
Our workshops in financial literacy teach teenagers and up-and-coming athletes how to manage their finances wisely – from budgeting basics to understanding how to save and invest for the future. This is crucial for prospects who might suddenly sign a professional contract; without guidance, sudden wealth can quickly vanish. We also run personal branding and professional development seminars that help youth (especially athletes) build a positive image and develop communication skills. Topics range from managing social media professionally to conducting oneself with integrity on and off the field. These sessions give young athletes the tools to represent themselves and their communities with pride. By combining sports with education, TirCo Org. ensures that youth development goes hand-in-hand with personal growth, so that the leaders of tomorrow are not just skilled, but also socially responsible and financially savvy.
Collaboration is key to our impact. TirCo Org. works hand-in-hand with a variety of partners – from local communities to international organizations – to expand the reach of our mission. We are proud to collaborate with Major League Baseball (MLB) training academies in the Dominican Republic, where we engage future stars in community service and skill-building. Young players from these academies have joined our beach cleanups and attended our workshops, showing that athletic training and education for sustainability can go together. We’ve seen first-hand how a baseball academy can become a classroom for environmental stewardship and personal development.
We also partner with companies, foundations, and government institutions that share our vision of a cleaner, more educated future. Whether it’s a business looking to host a corporate beach cleanup day or a government agency seeking to run a youth training program, TirCo Org. provides the expertise, enthusiasm, and organizational support to make it a success. Together with our partners, we have organized large-scale coastal cleanup events (sometimes with hundreds of volunteers) and delivered life-skills training in various communities. Each collaboration amplifies our message and proves that when people unite for a good cause, positive change happens one initiative at a time.
Request a cleanup and Tirco Org. will help you organize a cleanup at your local beach or river. Pick up at least 3 pieces daily at your neighborhood, park, river, beach, or sidewalk, and keep track of your progress.
Companies like yours know the value of volunteerism when it comes to employee engagement. That engagement can be challenging to come by when employees are remote. Bring them together in a way that fosters positivity and team purpose with skill-based volunteering. We have a variety of ocean cleanup projects based on your desired time frame, all of which can be accomplished from anywhere in the world.
Players for the Planet works to unite all athletes to bring lasting and measurable transformation to the Earth. We believe the responsibility to preserve and protect our planet falls on each and every one of us. As professional athletes, we are fortunate enough to have a powerful platform and the resources we need to create positive change in our world when it needs our help more than ever. We seek to unite to make sustainability and environmental responsibility foundational values of our sport.
