Passion in Action – November 5th
10am – 2pm, Nevada County Fairgrounds, Northern Mines Building
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 first-of-its-kind 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.
The Volunteer Fair will see dozens of local nonprofit and community organizations participating as ‘vendors’ of volunteer opportunities. These groups will be ready to share their needs and options with potential volunteers and engage these civically minded community members in their work.
We hope you will join us and the organizations that will be on hand: (check back often, the list continues to grow!)
