GET INVOLVED AT THE VILLAGE SHUL
Are you interested in supporting The Village Shul and making a difference?
We’re opening up new and existing committees and building a roster of volunteers to help continue all the amazing things the VS has to offer.
There are so many opportunities to choose from, and more hands make light work—so the more, the merrier! The more volunteers we have, the less each person needs to do to help keep VS thriving.
Joining a committee is also a great way to get to know the inner workings of the shul and see if a future seat on the board might be something you’d be interested in.
Click the link below to let us know where you’d like to get involved!
