2021 Volunteer Expo October 4, 2021November 1, 2021 Ruth Paquin General, Past Events September 23, 2021 Two sessions offered: 9:00-11:30 a.m. and 3:30-6:00 p.m.KI Convention Center, Downtown Green Bay This fun, family-friendly event was hosted by the Volunteer Center of Brown county and presented by Fox Communities Credit Union. More than 300 members of our community who have been thinking about volunteering, but weren’t sure which organization was right for them had the opportunity to enjoy networking and conversation with more than 45 local nonprofits. They were able to learn more about the valuable work each organization does and discover ways to strengthen our community by giving of their time and talents. Participants enjoyed light snacks and refreshments, and morning and afternoon sessions were offered. New this year, several organizations provided hands-on volunteer projects where individuals were able to connect and give back on the spot! Scroll to the bottom for a list of organizations that participated. Thank you to everyone who joined us, as well as the volunteers who helped the day run smoothly and the organizations who staffed tables!
