IVS Volunteer Callout!

As many of you may know Indianapolis Vegetarian Society has been working hard this past year reorganizing our structure so that we can offer more events & education for our members & the community. We are looking for dedicated volunteers who are interested in helping with marketing, organizing events, tabling booths, public education, etc. Volunteering for IVS is a rewarding experience (it is why we all do it!) full of adventures, food and people! We have volunteer opportunities of all kinds, for all people.  

   If you are already a volunteer, we are asking that you join us for the Volunteer Meeting. We are formalizing some aspects of the group, including the volunteer coordinating. This will allow us to better utilize volunteers, offer more exciting & frequent volunteer opportunities & make your volunteering experience more rewarding.

Volunteer Call Out Meeting
Saturday July 28  
12:30- 2:00pm 
Earth House (237 North East Street Indianapolis)
