Activities & Volunteer opportunities
Our annual events and activities help advance our fundraising and community-building mission. Each of these events present opportunities for volunteering. To get notified of volunteer opportunities as they arise, fill out our Volunteer Survey! (Don't worry, this isn't a commitment, and no experience is required!) Volunteers sign up via sign-up genius.
