Celebrate Earth Month With AAA

AAA Northeast is celebrating Earth Month throughout April with volunteer projects designed to bring members, employees and community groups together to help beautify the environment.

If you’re looking to make a difference in your neighborhood, join AAA branch teams as they spruce up parks, beaches and more. Cleanup events are happening monthlong across the Northeast.

Typically, employees show up in force, but AAA branches are trying to get more members involved, explained Thomas Ryan, district branch manager and co-chairman of the Branch Operations Member Engagement Committee.

“Earth Month is our biggest member engagement program of the year,” Ryan said.

In 2025, AAA Northeast successfully hosted 18 Earth Month events across the region, with a notable 79% member participation rate.

Some of our most successful events in 2025 included:

Sound Water Cleanup in Stamford, Connecticut, where a team of 17 volunteers joined us.
Save The Bay event at Scarborough Beach, Narragansett, Rhode Island, where were joined by 13 members.
Three Earth Day weekend events in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island, bringing in around 135 member volunteers, despite the rain.

“Besides cleaning up our community, the most rewarding part is creating relationships with members,” said Maggie McMenemy, branch manager and co-chairman of the Member Engagement Committee.

“It’s a great opportunity to get involved in the community, do something with your family and learn more about community organizations,” Ryan added.
