ADULT & TEEN PROGRAMS
Lewisboro Community Volunteer Fair
Saturday, March 13, 11:00 am
Via Zoom
Want to help out in our community? The need for adult and teen volunteers is more important than ever during these trying times, so we are taking our Community Volunteer Fair virtual this year!
The annual Lewisboro Community Volunteer Fair matches local organizations with community members who want to volunteer. Usually agencies set up tables at the Library with information on their services and volunteer needs, so people can browse for the best volunteer activity to suit their interest and availability. This year we have to be creative. The Library will be the Zoom host and participating organizations will each have 5 minutes to talk about their group and their volunteer needs. Then we will have a Q & A at the end for the audience to ask questions.
