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:

  • November 5: Genesis Tutoring
  • November 9: City Schools Fair
  • November 9: HopeBUILDERS
  • November 9: House Party – Veterans Community Project
  • November 9: Fall Into Fashion Fundraiser

SPRING

NATURALIZATION CEREMONY

At the ceremony, you will see non-citizens swear their allegiance to the United States and receive their naturalization certificate, and thus become US Citizens. This event occurs on November 5, 2019 from 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Plan to arrive no later than 10:45, as to not disrupt the ceremony. It will be held at the City Library, Floor 1 in Kirk Hall. They have set up a special area in the West Mezzanine for Centurions, so we can view the ceremony above the crowd. There is a reception afterwards on Floor 5 to celebrate, which all Centurions are invited to attend. You can enter through the café or main entrance. Please see additional details on the registration page. Please RSVP by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, November, 1 so we can send our RSVP numbers. Register here >>
