September Volunteer Opportunities

Dear Penn Community,

I hope you enjoyed the summer. 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.

Please contact me via e-mail (sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu) to volunteer for any of the programs. Thank you for your continued support.
