Year of the Volunteer April ’23 – April ’24
Send Us Your Favorite Volunteer!
Come celebrate with us. Since 2016, Vibrant Communities has asked you to help us identify exceptional people and places in our community by sharing their story. From Vibrant People to Vibrant Neighborhoods, you have been our eyes and ears in finding the best of the best. This year is no exception.
We need your Help! Beginning the week of April 16th – National Volunteer Week – Vibrant Communities will recognize volunteers through Elkhart County by sharing their story. Please nominate someone you know, or even share your own story with us.
Connect to Your Passion – Volunteer!
Acts of Service is a community service hub that connects local volunteers with service opportunities in and around Elkhart county. As part of the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, the free resource is open to all community members and partners who want to make a positive difference.
Acts of Service helps match the needs of nonprofit organizations with the willing hands of individual volunteers, businesses and their employees, and community partners.
Nonprofits share their current and upcoming volunteer requests on their portal where volunteers can review the list and sign up to fill those needs. The resources available through Acts of Service help companies streamline and manage their volunteer programs and give back to the community.
Explore the Creative in You!
You can imagine that as a community of makers most of our people connect to each other and our community through many different art mediums. From furniture to sculptures – from pottery to motorcycles. It is our goal as a community to inspire residents and visitors to appreciate all forms of art. We believe there is a creative in everyone!
