Opportunity Details
TeamWorks: Discover Washington County! (age 18+) *Hands On*
Then this is the volunteer experience for you!
What is TeamWorks?
Join a team of 8-10 people who, like you, are interested in getting to know our region through volunteerism. Your team will work together on a series of projects (listed below) with opportunities to discuss the impact your service is having on our community. Some projects will be paired with happy hour or a meal to allow your team to continue the conversation (meal/drink expenses are the responsibility of each individual team member). By the end of the project series you'll know more about our region and have made a few friends in the process!
Sign up below for at least 3 of the 6 sessions. Although it's ideal for you to sign up for all six projects, if you can make it to three or more sessions you're still welcome to join this TeamWorks team.
