October 12 - Gina Greblo and Jill Mather @ Hillel at
UCLA
Jill
Mather: Jill Mather is a
dedicated community leader on a mission to transform the mindset of littering in
America, starting with the San Fernando Valley. As the founder of the 501c3
organization Volunteers
Cleaning Communities, she has established a range of impactful programs such
as "Adopt 1 Street," "Litter Scavenger Hunt Program," "Environmental Awareness
Day," and "Earth Day Event" to engage community members in environmental
stewardship. Jill is also a passionate advocate for positive change in her
Chatsworth, California, hometown. She serves in various leadership roles,
including President of Diamondhead HOA, Secretary of Chatsworth Neighborhood
Council, and active membership in several chambers and community organizations.
Gina Greblo: Gina
Greblo, a proud Los Angeles native, possesses a love for the city's natural
beauty and a strong commitment to its preservation. Six months ago, she took a
stand against the litter plaguing LA streets, starting with a single recycled
grocery bag and quickly upgrading to a farmer's market rolling cart, clearing
numerous bags of debris. Gina's concern for the environment grew as she
documented her cleanup efforts on Nextdoor, transforming her personal mission
into a citywide movement. Through her dedicated leadership, she's inspired
individuals from girl scouts to retirees to join her in monthly cleanups,
fostering a powerful force for change. Beyond litter removal, Gina has fostered
genuine community bonds among business owners and cleanup volunteers who say
they come for the cleanups but they return for the sense of community she
nurtures. Gina isn't just a guardian of Los Angeles' natural beauty; she's a
catalyst for the vibrant communities that make the city truly special.
