Support Local Students with the Community Foundation Tampa Bay

First up, we have the Community Foundation Tampa Bay, a fantastic organization making waves in our community. They’re currently seeking volunteers for their Scholarship Committees. By joining, you’ll get to empower local students by reviewing scholarship applications online. It’s a great way to lend your expertise and help shape the future of Tampa Bay’s youth! Plus, it can be done from the comfort of your home—what could be better?

Be a Part of the Pinellas County Point in Time Count

Next on the list is an opportunity to participate in the Pinellas County Point in Time Count. This event is all about making a difference on a larger scale, capturing the number of people experiencing homelessness in our area on a single night. It’s a nationwide initiative aimed at understanding and addressing homelessness, and they’re calling out for volunteers! If you’re interested in shedding light on this crucial issue, it’s an event you won’t want to miss.

Join the Team for the St. Petersburg Conference on World Affairs

Mark your calendars that from February 11-13, the St. Petersburg Conference on World Affairs will be taking place. This exciting event won’t just be about discussions and ideas; it also requires a team of volunteers to assist in various capacities. Whether you’re helping with registration or managing logistics, your efforts can contribute to a successful event that brings minds together to discuss pressing global issues. 

Help Students Shine with the Suit-A-Bull Program

Calling all fashion enthusiasts! The University of South Florida’s Suit-A-Bull program is asking for donations of gently worn professional clothing, shoes, and accessories. These donations will help students look sharp and feel confident as they embark on their career journeys. To make it even easier, they have a link to an Amazon Wish List for those looking to donate new items! So, if you have some professional attire that’s just collecting dust, consider donating it!

Advocate for Safe Homes with the Healthy Homes Community Coalition

Did you know that homes built before 1978 can pose lead hazards? The Healthy Homes Community Coalition invites enthusiastic individuals to join their mission to educate the community about these safety concerns. If you’re passionate about advocating for lead safety, they’ll be holding a kickoff meeting on January 23. This is your chance to learn how you can make a difference while keeping families safe!
