Junior League of Asheville, NC

Description

The Junior League of Asheville, Inc. (JLA) will hold its sixth annual Volunteer Expo, on Saturday, March 23rd, 2024 from 12 to 3 PM at the Crowne Plaza Expo Center. Modeled after a job fair, this free event will feature local nonprofits looking to fill ongoing and future volunteer needs. Nonprofits in almost every area of community concern will be present at the event: health, poverty, legal aid, environmental stewardship, women’s issues, arts, civic leadership, technology, education and animal welfare.

Excitement for the Volunteer Expo continues to grow. The 2023 event featured over 50 non-profits and was attended by more than 250 community members coming to network and sign up to volunteer with nonprofit organizations.

We invite all area nonprofits to apply to participate in the 2024 Volunteer Expo that will bring hundreds of prospective volunteers, donors and board members to your booth! This is a great opportunity to network, gain exposure and share about your mission.

Due to the increase in interest for booths at the Expo, this year the League plans to jury all applications received instead of awarding booths on a first come first serve basis. They hope this will ensure a good mix of volunteer opportunities in a variety of service areas and allow new nonprofits a chance to have a booth at the event.

All community members of all ages are invited to attend this event! Share this flyer with your friends, or post it on your favorite community boards. We appreciate your help spreading the word about our event!

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP!

We also invite all local businesses to be a part of our 2024 Volunteer Expo!
