The theme for this year's Westerville MLK Breakfast was "Hope Through Action: Building stronger communities through advocacy, civic engagement, community organizing, and direct service." Throughout the year we will be sharing opportunities for people to take action in their communities! Below are some volunteers opportunities.
April is National Volunteer Month! After you volunteer in April, we encourage you to join us on Tuesday May 12 from 7-8 p.m. at the Westerville Public Library for a reflection event. Stay tuned for more information.
If you have others that you would like to share, please email them to [email protected]
