Would you like to give low-income families and children the chance to enjoy a wonderful holiday season? We need kind, enthusiastic volunteers who are eager to help their community and the incredible families who live in it!
We would immensely appreciate individuals or groups who can help for a few hours at a holiday drive held at Giant at Town Center Plaza in Sterling. You would operate our donation table by handing out informational flyers, speaking to customers about our holiday drive and organization, and receiving donations from customers. You will be rewarded by the heart-warming generosity of the customers who you meet! :)
If you'd like to help, please sign up for the date(s) and shift(s) that work best for you at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0f45a8a72aaaf85-cenv
These possible dates and shifts include:

Mission Statement
Community Empowerment Northern Virginia (CENV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with this core belief: when one plants a S.E.E.D. by Strengthening, Educating, Empowering and Developing, strong communities will grow. To facilitate this movement, CENV offers one-to-one mentoring, tutoring, adult education workshops, leadership training, and much more. These services empower personal growth, support academic success and educate people toward developing self-sufficiency.
Description
Today’s society is challenged by an increasingly difficult world. Family problems, substance abuse, economic pressure, and the lure of gangs and delinquency threaten our youth physically and emotionally. Community Empowerment Northern Virginia is dedicated to providing community-based services that support, guide and inspire people to build life skills required to become resilient, self-sufficient adults. Using adult and peer mentoring to provide positive role models and promote skill development, Community Empowerment Northern Virginia strives to help build self-acceptance, strengthen school performance, and enhance executive functioning.
By providing people with positive role models in the community, Community Empowerment seeks to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide people with a vital sense of belonging
- Give people a sense that the greater community also cares about them
- Move people forward on their way to conscious and self-sufficient adulthood
- Support people on their journey to discover their true potential
- Provide people with access to the resources necessary to achieve social and academic success
- Help more people graduate high school and move on to higher education that supports their dreams
- Create an array of services that complement the web of services already existing in our communities
- Educate and empower parents and families to be more involved in family and community growth
