Volunteer opportunities in University Place

July 8, 2009 By Ben Sclair

The UP Volunteer Center is hosting two outdoor volunteer events next Saturday July 18th in University Place. These events are made possible due to a grant called Together Green from National Audubon Society. Together Green is helping build the promise of a greener, healthier future through innovation, leadership and volunteerism. We need at least 25 volunteers at each site, so please spread the word and come out for a great day volunteering. Pick a site and let me know which one you are interested in. These are great opportunities for groups or individuals.
