Anyone who lives or visits Nevada County knows it’s a special place; and it’s not just because of the beautiful scenery and iconic history.  Our community is rich with individuals and nonprofit organizations that enhance our lives every day with their commitment to help people connect, grow and thrive.

This unique event will provide not only the opportunity, but the space, to encourage individuals with a passion, and the desire to put that passion into action, to find an organization that will provide the place to make that action a reality.  Attendees will be able to explore both Volunteer and Job opportunities.

The Passion in Action event will see dozens of local nonprofit and community impact organizations, including the Nevada County Fair, participating as ‘vendors’ of volunteer and job opportunities.  These groups will be ready to share their needs and employment options with job seekers  and volunteers as they seek to engage civically minded community members in their work.

Brought to you in partnership with the Nevada County Fair, this FREE to the public event will be a delightful afternoon of community and connection. Food vendors will be on hand to offer visitors a snack or beverage as they explore the many community impact organizations. Enjoy for-purchase-fare from Top Dog, Coco’s Creamery and Java John’s.
