Help 826LA on Big Sunday!
- Posted on 04.09.09
Looking for a way to help out in your community? Do you love what 826LA does but have more experience in home improvement than mentoring aspiring writers?
Liven your spirits, help out the Venice community, and hone in on your interior design skills that you've picked up as you've secretly watched HGTV.
826LA's west center is participating in Big Sunday on May 3. In case you haven't been too savvy to the latest in community events, it is the "largest regional community service event in America," offering hundreds of volunteer opportunities to good people like yourselves.
Sign up to remodel and repaint our Venice writing lab, where future leaders and best-selling novelists are tutored and stimulated through innovative, creative workshops. Walking into a well-decorated, newly painted writing lab will only stimulate their brains more!
Not too confident about your home improvement skills? No problem. We are also looking for: gift cards to office supply stores, construction paper, pencils and pens, and student reference books.
Volunteer: How do I sign up? Blog: That's a good question, volunteer. Go to Big Sunday's sign up page and register for project 202 or 203 (depending on if you're a morning or afternoon person).
Here are the handy dandy links with all the deets:
Project #202 (9 am- 12 pm): http://bigsunday.org/project/202
Project #203 (12 pm- 3 pm): http://bigsunday.org/project/203
Hope to see you there! (Start practicing your brush strokes now so you'll be a pro by May).
