Sun will soon be celebrating its 15th annual Worldwide Volunteer Week (April 18-26). Worldwide Volunteer Week (WWVW) is a time to give back to the community through one-time, group volunteering. It's a way to contribute to a nonprofit organization, gain new skills and meet new people. Some work teams volunteer together as a unique team-building activity.
We have many projects planned for this week. Here are a few examples:
- Team India will have many projects during this week. The activities range from blood donation to helping the environment.
- Volunteers in Colorado will provide their expertise in technology, fundraising and PR to help a cancer organization.
- Teens will visit the New York Sun office to practice their job interviewing skills with employees.
- Germany has two enviornmental projects, beautifying local nature trails.
- Volunteers in Oregon will continue to support the Food Bank, this time working in their garden.
Nonprofits can submit projects for consideration for Worldwide Volunteer Week or any other time of the year at www.cybergrants.com/sun/npo. The Sun workforce can post and sign up for projects internally at the volunteer tool.
