COMMUNITY-BASED LEARNING EVENTS & UPDATES
APPLY FOR THE 2015 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AWARD!
Every year the Community-Based Learning Program recognizes students for their community-based learning efforts in their courses and communities. Any student that has completed a community-based learning assignment during Summer 2014, Fall 2014, Winter 2015, or Spring 2015 is eligible. The award application is available on the CBL website. CBL encourages faculty to spread the word and encourage their students to apply. Awardees will be recognized at the Annual Community-Based Learning Celebration Banquet on May 15th.
NEW POSTINGS
Below are 2 NEW POSTINGS from these organizations: Friendly House, inc. and Rigler SUN.
1. Friendly House, Inc.: Fun Fundraising Event Needs Lots of Help!
Volunteers are need on Friday, March 13th, and some days leading up to that and the day after for our annual Spring Auction, our biggest fundraising event of the year, when we need about 180 people to help us set-up the party, throw the party, then break it down! There are lots of different jobs available, including making decorations, checking people in and out, helping with food, set-up, breaking down, and so forth. Without the help of volunteers we could not raise the funds needed to keep our doors open. Volunteering for this is a fun job though – we decorate the whole place to look like the 1930s and have a ball! Food and drink provided.
We’re using VolunteerSpot (the leading online Sign-up and reminder tool) to organize our upcoming Sign-ups. Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:
1) Click this link to see our Sign-Up on VolunteerSpot.
2) Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.
