REMINDER: SIGN UP TO ACCESS SERVICE PROJECTS ON VOLUNTEERMARK

All volunteer opportunities are now open to both classes and are on a first-come, first-served basis. We have moved to one calendar on VolunteerMark that everyone will use to sign up for opportunities. This was the overwhelming feedback that volunteer opportunities are a great way to have both classes connect. This also means that opportunities are open “year-round” for everyone, which we will track by program year (Fall: July 1-June 30 and Spring: Feb 1-Jan 31).

Ready to serve? Check out VolunteerMark for a few opportunities that are still in need of volunteers. Check the calendar regularly as new projects are added weekly and look for newsletter announcements or GroupMe to sign-up for projects in which spots still need to be filled.

Upcoming Projects In Need of Volunteers:

July 9: Harvesters Sort & Pack
July 12: Giving the Basics – PickUp Day
July 13: Gleaning with After the Harvest
July 17: Happy Bottoms
July 19: Giving Grove Orchard Work
July 20: The Lykins Graffiti Abatement Project
July 20: Habitat for Humanity of KC ReStore

Join your fellow Centurions (and their significant others and kiddos!) for a barbecue at Shaw Cross’ home. This casual get together will include a 100 foot slip and slide, bounce house, yard games and smoked meats courtesy of local celeb and Dad Bod BBQ’s own Mark Nuss. We’ll also provide some soft drinks and beers but plan to BYOB drinks, sides, dessert and lawn chairs. Join your fellow Centurions (and their families!) for a summer backyard bash at Casa de Cross!
