Dear
Penn Community,
As
many of you know, each month, Penn Volunteers In Public Service
posts a list of volunteer opportunities. These opportunities are
developed from the many requests we receive for partnerships and
assistance.
University of Pennsylvania faculty, staff students and alumni
continue to volunteer their valuable time to provide service
in our surrounding community. We thank you for your overwhelming
support and for your generosity. Below is the monthly list of
volunteer opportunities. Please contact me via e-mail (sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu)
to volunteer for any of the programs. Thank you for your continued
support.
