Recruitment
November 13
Come & See Event
Our volunteers had the opportunity to serve at several different community organizations, including Spring Valley, Holy Family, MACC, Covenant Soup Kitchen, CLiCK, and WAIM. It was such an amazing experience, and our volunteers were able to learn more about each organization and the important work they do in our community.
After volunteering, we also came together for a reflection where we talked about our experiences, what we learned, and how we can continue getting involved in our community.
Overall, it was such a great day, and I really hope that for our next volunteer opportunities, we can have even more students participate and get involved. If anyone is interested in getting more involved and giving back to our community, please come join us for our MLK Day of Service! We would love to have as many students as possible participate.
