Got motivation?
For the MISSION: TAKE ACTION assignment, you have to complete ten hours of volunteer work for a community service non-profit organization. Check your local shelter/soup kitchen and volunteer on Christmas and New Year's, as they often need help this time of year. You can also use online resources like www.christianvolunteering.org and www.volunteermatch.org to find information on organizations and volunteer opportunities in your area.
SSI is hosting OnSites throughout the school year at various locations around the state. We are in need of volunteers to assist
first-time students in caucus meetings and other various duties. Please email Jeff Visscher
at jeff@ssi-online.org if you are able to help. You can see the list of scheduled OnSites here.
There's always some project going on around our office; preparing Onsite materials, preparing mailings, helping at an event. If you want to
get in your volunteer hours for a non-profit organization this would work great. Email or call
Sherrel at 877-464-6388 to find out what times and dates work best.
