The Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center
The Triangle Nonprofit and Volunteer Leadership Center is expanding its efforts to connect retirees with organizations they're interested in helping out. TNVLC has taken over the AmeriCorps Senior RSVP program from Durham Tech. Volunteers deliver meals to homebound adults, transport lifesaving blood donations, work in community gardens, serve as tax preparers, and more! In return, volunteers receive mileage reimbursement to and from their volunteer site, supplemental volunteer insurance, and an invitation to our annual recognition event.
TNVLC is also gearing up for this summer's IMPACT Camps. Students participating in the program spend Monday through Friday on a supervised team working on a variety service projects. They will hear from community leaders and engage in reflection activities. Participants will also receive leadership and team-building training, and learn about housing, hunger, poverty, caring for the environment, and other issues facing the local community
