Outreach Hosts Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast to Celebrate National Volunteer Month

April is National Volunteer Month, a time to celebrate and honor those who give back to their community. Volunteers are at the center of Outreach—Center for Community Resources‘ work. To show this appreciation, Outreach hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast on Friday, April 4th, at the Seventh Avenue Center in Scranton.

The breakfast invited those who give their valuable time and resources to the organization throughout the year to come together and be honored for their efforts. Volunteers are crucial to the success of Outreach’s programming.

Volunteering opportunities include tutoring GED participants, becoming a youth mentor as part of the Skyview STEM after-school programming, sorting and wrapping gifts for Outreach’s Toyland Workshop, helping clean the grounds of the Center, and so many more opportunities and events throughout the year.
