Spring Into Action - Volunteer

Girl Scout Troop 50216 volunteering at the 2010 Friends of the Parks Day.

The Volunteer Intergenerational Center is gearing up to make this year's National Volunteer Week a success. National Volunteer Week, Sunday, April 10 -- Saturday, April 16, is not only a time to recognize volunteers but celebrate the spirit of volunteerism. This year's theme will be "Spring Into Action - Volunteer". By taking part in National Volunteer Week, volunteer programs across America help make a difference in the lives of volunteers and those served.

National Volunteer Week presents an opportunity for individuals, families, nonprofit organizations, groups and businesses to engage in service. It's about meeting the challenges of society not as individuals but as members of a community with all of us working together. It's also an opportunity to make a CHANGE through volunteerism and get people connected to volunteer service throughout the year.

Please consider volunteering during National Volunteer Week. There are many projects that need to be completed during this special week. E-mail us at rsvpvic@sbcglobal.net for a list of projects or go on-line at www.vicrsvp.org and click on the National Volunteer Week icon located on the home page to view projects.
