Evergreen Newcomers and Neighbors features local non-profit organizations where ENN members may volunteer their time and skills. Twice annually, interested volunteers tour several of the organizations listed below to better understand their needs and opportunities for service. There are a wide variety of opportunities provided so you may align your service with your passions. Community Outreach also coordinates a Quarterly Zoom Panel of 4 Service Organizations in our community. Take time to find out about the services offered by these non-profit organizations, and if interested, find out how you can help.
