How Can Community Organizations Participate & Benefit from Servapalooza?
Community organizations are invited to host Service Stations to support their cause.
What is a Service Station?
Service Stations are hosted by community organizations advocating for their cause, recruiting future volunteers and most importantly providing fun service activities that help their cause and give back to the community. Service Stations are organized by similar interest area: Environment & Animals; Health & Human Services; Youth, Education & Arts; and Hunger & Homelessness.
What is a Servapalooza Service Activity?
A service activity is a table-top service project that allows participants to sample possible ongoing volunteer opportunities your organization offers. Examples of possible service activities are creating place mats for food services organizations, letter-writing for environmental organizations, crafts made with love for senior organizations, thank-you notes for your volunteers, letters of support for your fundraising or advocacy campaign or whatever project will meet YOUR needs.
If your activity is age specific please include that in the description on the application. Please keep in mind that we have a variety of participants attending Servapalooza, from young children to adults.
