  • Daily informational sessions related to VEAP and the community, covering topics such as non-profit work, poverty, food insecurity, and housing insecurity

WHY: Students will get to learn about and support their community, meet other engaged program participants, and gain valuable skills through hands-on non-profit experience.

Students are playing an important role in our pantry operations as part of this program, and are expected to attend all program sessions. If you know you will be absent for two or more sessions, please consider signing up for a different program session and/or volunteering with us outside of the Future Light program.
