Great zoom session over different volunteer opportunities
A good way to learn about ways to give back to my community!
I thought this Zoom session was very informative. It talked about volunteer opportunities on and off campus, especially highlighting next week's earth week volunteer opportunities each day! I think it is very important for students to volunteer around the community and these Zoom meetings help keep students in the loop.
Three organizations
United Way of NWA-
the mission is to support individuals and families that need support and focus on education, income stability, and healthy lives
Help ALICE families, which stands for assists limited, income-constrained, employed individuals and families

Nwa land trust-
Local conservation non-profit
Preserve and enhance the quality of life for all people in NWA through the permanent protection of land
Protect scenic landscapes, family farms and working lands, healthy forests, wetlands, rivers and streams, historical and cultural sites, and places for outdoor recreation

Beaver watershed alliance-
Proactively protect, enhance, and sustain the water quality of Beaver Lake and the integrity of its watershed through education, outreach, technical assistance, and scientific monitoring
Sediment is the #1 cause of pollution in the lake
Host tree planting, invasive plant removals, trash pickups, and more events as service opportunities for students
I listened to the zoom where three people talked about how they are helping the NWA area and how we can help by volunteering.
I loved hearing from these organizations as it opened my eyes to the problems of the world and how things are harming the Earth and what we can do to help. I love our planet!!
A Zoom call about Earth Day!
This was a very fruitful event! It helped me learn about all the different types of ways I can help the environment and about the different organizations that are in the lookout for volunteers.
