This event offers students an opportunity to meet local organizations that are recruiting volunteers.  

Representatives from 30 local organizations will be present to speak with current students about their organization's mission and volunteering needs. 

Volunteering is a great way to develop skills and gain experiences that can be showcased on a résumé and discussed in an interview. For those looking to give back to the community, it is a fulfilling way to contribute to local causes. It also provides an excellent opportunity for networking.
