November 23 is Family Volunteer Day

Family Volunteer Day is November 23. It’s a chance to shape the future of volunteering, introduce families to the vital work that nonprofits do, and to inspire the next generation of volunteers. Fostering relationships with families helps close the gaps in volunteer recruitment and assists organizations in providing the services their communities need. Founded by Points of Light in 1990, Family Volunteer Day encourages persons to work together for the betterment of their communities.
