Volunteering

Imagine all the good you and your neighbors can do by hosting a get together to learn about neighbors stories of overcoming barriers life has thrown our way. One of our Blackland ambassadors will attend your event and explore our story of community success with your group of 8 or more neighbors. If you would like to hose a first Friday party or Won’t you be my neighbor Coffee, one of our BCDC ambassadors will be available to attend and share a story of resilience, growth and community with your neighbors. This can be followed by a discussion of your community success and struggles.

If changing someone's life and encouraging them to live a better life is as simple as getting together ...then buy some delicious ingredients, fire up the grill or pull out the fine china, and invite them over for a cup of Joe!
