By participating in Service Saturdays, volunteers will identify and articulate at least one challenge or need existing in Tompkins County. In addition, through their participation in the program, volunteers will articulate the goals of at least one community organization in Tompkins County.
Why get involved? This is a great opportunity to help out your community in a variety of different ways. The best part is that the events happen throughout the day so you can volunteer around your schedule!
