October Volunteer Opportunities

Dear Penn Community,

In our continued efforts to be good neighbors, the following is a list of the monthly posting of community service opportunities. As many of you know, each month, Penn Volunteers In Public Service (Penn VIPS)  posts a list of volunteer opportunities. These opportunities are developed from the many requests we get from the surrounding community to be partners in a particular initiative and/or sometimes to provide assistance. Contact me at (215) 898-2020 or send an e-mail:  sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu to volunteer for these programs.
