BVU's GIVE Program
Where we've been:
On June 17th, GIVE celebrated its first
birthday! At Silo Point in South Baltimore, GIVE held a
one-year anniversary party and networking event, attended by 82 self-identified
next generation leaders. It was
inspiring to bring everyone together, share stories and plan for the future. Check out photos from our event here!
GIVE classmates visited the American Red Cross on June 22nd
to learn about the non-profit's mission and purpose. We also hosted a fascinating panel discussion
trying to understand why people
volunteer. It was an eye-opening
experience!
Where we are going:
Join the GIVE class for a
volunteer project on August 14th as we clean up Maryland's watershed. Meet us and the Friends of Patapsco Valley
from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm to take care of our environment. For more information or to register, visit: www.givevolopp3.eventbrite.com
