Hi Friend,

It’s hard to believe that August is almost over! With the recent extreme weather in parts of Maryland and the rise in COVID cases, I hope you and your loved ones are finding ways to stay safe and enjoy the last few weeks of summer.

We’re back with more job postings, community events, and volunteer opportunities from our partners around the state! If you know of a good volunteer opportunity/community event/internship/job/etc in your area, please fill out this form.

Enjoy!
