VU PHL & Everybody Eats Juneteenth Event!

The concept is simple - we volunteer with a different nonprofit organization in Philadelphia on the second Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., then spend the afternoon at a local bar for food, drinks, networking and fun with fellow, like-minded individuals.This program was created to give young professionals the opportunity for inspiring and rewarding experiences that will help forge a passion for future volunteering – both with our organization and on their own. Volunteering Untapped was born out of the realization that young professionals in Baltimore, Chicago, and Philadelphia want to give back to their community, but simply don’t know the best way to get involved. We solve that problem.Our mantra? Volunteering…made easy.

This month we are switching to the THIRD SUNDAY & partnering with Everybody Eats for a Juneteenth event! Join us on 6/19!

Malcolm X Park

We&#x27;re switching things up this month, and for good reason. We are honored and excited to partner with the incredible organization Everybody Eats as they host their 3rd birthday and 3rd annual <a href="https://nmaahc.si.edu/blog-post/historical-legacy-juneteenth" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Juneteenth</a> cookout at Malcolm X Park on SUNDAY, 6/19 giving away food &amp; essentials. Now, about that switch-up. This month, we are volunteering on the THIRD SUNDAY instead of the second Saturday. Additionally, this month&#x27;s event time is a bit different. Everybody Eats is holding their food &amp; essentials giveaway and cookout at Malcolm X Park from 12pm-4pm, so we are offering three time slots to sign up for (they&#x27;ll include set up, event time, and break down). Please see below for more info.
