Thanks to the 350 future volunteers who stopped by our annual Shawnee County Volunteer Expo at Fairlawn Plaza. We love bringing together nonprofit service providers from all over the county to talk about what they do with everyone who stops by. We appreciate them taking four hours out of an already busy workday too! We also had a chance to share some professional development tips on mental health self-care and information on our newly available community data from the United for ALICE project.
We'd also like to thank our 2023 sponsors for making this event possible:
Fairlawn Plaza
Chavez Restoration
SLI - Serving people with intellectual disabilities
Cumulus Media
Kansas Volunteer Commission
If you missed the Expo, volunteer opportunities across our service area can be found on our free digital hub at KawValleyVolunteers.org (a merger of TopekaVolunteers.org and VolunteerDouglasCounty.org).
