The annual Good Neighbor Day is coming up on October 26th from 8:30am-12pm, and there are several projects seeking volunteers.  This is a great opportunity to give back, have fun, and do some good. There are various types of community projects for you to participate in.

Please go online to see all of the projects seeking volunteers.

And if you are interested in volunteering as one of the “Welcome Crew” who will be positioned at the various project sites, you will be tasked with ensuring that the event runs smoothly. Welcome Crew volunteers will help with check-in, distribute t-shirts, liaise with the safety call center if needed, and answer general questions. Welcome Crew members are expected to arrive at 7:30 a.m to ensure they are set up and ready for when project volunteers start arriving. If this role is of interest, please email Josanne Francis at francisj@umd.edu.
