Volunteers Upgrade Northside Park
Create the change you want to see is a phrase often used around the Hands On Thomas County (HOTC) office. This summer, a group of volunteers took it to heart!
Last Week of Impact Outreach
I never thought that my summer of community service projects would come to an end, but here we are. While I have two more weeks of my internship, my last service project is in the books.
Week 3 – Impact Outreach
After two weeks of recharging, we are back at it again! I can definitely say it is good to be back. I was able to get right back into the groove and focus on the two service projects I had this week with The Boys and Girls Club and Vashti’s Ventures and Connections.
