Description
Community Volunteer Fair at The Historic Y, February 19, 2018
Join social and environmental activists, curious Tucsonans looking to make connections with other members of their community, and others frustrated by the current political climate who are looking for ways to get involved and make a difference. Find out about the many organizations that are fighting for social and environmental justice, equality and liberal progressive causes that are seeking volunteers. Enjoy beer, snacks, music and camaraderie in the lovely lobby and courtyard of The Historic Y.
Similar to our first Fair on Presidents’ Day 2017, participating organizations will be both social and political, with an emphasis on fighting for equality and social justice and protecting the environment and vulnerable populations and causes. Last year there were a total of 65 organizations represented. We expect as many or more this year.
