Hello Volunteers!
What’s Inside
It is unbelieveable that we are halfway through the year already! The first half of this year flew by and we are grateful that our volunteers have been with us every step of the way. To help introduce this newsletter, we are bringing in some statistics to help put into perspective just how important volunteering is to our Burbank Volunteer Program’s members. Up until now, our statistics have shown how volunteering has helped our program and many more like it, but in this newsletter we’re showcasing how volunteering is actually beneficial to you.
An event that should be on everyone’s radar is Rock-A-Hula. Rock-a-Hula is returning once again in September and regardless of being an attendee or a volunteer, it is an incredible event. The event itself is soley for our senior population, however volunteers of all ages are needed to help the event run smoothly. As we approach September, both BVP and the Joslyn Center will have information for volunters and attendees. Also in our newsletter, is information about our DIG program. DIG is another revamped event that started up again this year, which takes the BVP staff and volunteers to different City parks, and aids in cleaning them up. This event is a perfect chance for volunteers of any age to have a more personal investment into our parks. DIG can also be a private event if you have a group or business wanting to target a certain area in Burbank. To our student volunteers that may need to get some hours under their belt in the next few months, we have a range of sites that need you. From working alongside some furry friends, to getting those gardening gloves on, or becoming a friendly face at the airport, there are opportunities for everyone! If you are interested in the multitude of opportunities that await you inside this newsletter, please contact the Burbank Volunteer Program through email at bvp@burbankca.gov, or by phone at (818) 238-5370, or stop by our office inside the Joslyn Adult Center for more information.
