Founded in 2012 by a volunteer group of local activists as a 501c4 non-profit community grassroots organization, Miami Beach United was born of a desire to improve the quality of life for Miami Beach residents. We are still 100% volunteer-run, and we welcome residents from all parts of Miami Beach to become involved.
