National Volunteer Week 2009April 23, 2009 - Posted by Clarissa Peterson In honor of National Volunteer Week, LCCR would like to say thank you to everyone who volunteers — from those who volunteer to help others in their local communities, to those who volunteer for LCCR and our more than 200 member organizations to promote social justice across the nation and around the world. National Volunteer Week, which lasts through Saturday, was established in 1974 by former President Nixon. This year's theme, "Celebrating People in Action," recognizes individuals who take action to solve problems in their communities. If you are interested in volunteering in your community, check out the more than 200 LCCR coalition members — many have local chapters across the country. Or visit one of these websites that list volunteer opportunities and allow you to search by location: 1-800-volunteer.org, Idealist.org, Network for Good, or VolunteerMatch. Related Posts
