Are You Looking to Make a Meaningful Difference in Your Community? The VC is Looking for a Few New Board Members.

 

Join the Volunteer Center Board of Directors and You Can Make A Difference All Year Long!

The work of the Volunteer Center would not happen if it were not for the energetic dedication of our board of directors. We’re a working Board — but while we work we have a really good time!  The board seeks to represent all villages in the New Trier Township and the N.E. Metro Chicago area, and welcomes anyone interested in improving the quality of life in the community via volunteerism.  The board is always looking for marketing, public relations, design and fundraising skills.

THE LEGACY OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING LIVES ON, IN SPITE OF THE PANDEMIC

Our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration looked a little different this year, but the Volunteer Center still found ways to honor his enduring legacy of social justice and service by sponsoring 2 Covid-safe community initiatives. First, we were proud to partner with HEROS (Healing Everyday Racism in the Schools) to engage the community in a thought-provoking MLK LEGACY Workshop that focused on Dr. King’s 1965 speech in Winnetka and the concrete steps we can take locally to create Dr. King’s “Beloved Community”. Then, in keeping with our tradition of engaging in service on MLK Day, the VC also invited volunteers from the community to participate in our signature DIY no-sew fleece blanket donation program for homeless shelters and refugees. Instead of working side by side, families made 50+ blankets remotely during MLK “Week” that were distributed to local nonprofits.
