We would seek volunteers who can help at a donation drive on Monday, July 25 at Giant of 21800 Towncenter Plaza, Sterling, VA 20164. We also have food drives throughout the week and on the weekends! Please let us know if you want to volunteer more shifts!
In this important role, you would help operate our donation table, hand out flyers and literature, and speak to customers about our organization.
The items that you collect would give us a head-start in allowing local families in need to enjoy the holidays, as well as allow children at summer camp to benefit from nutritious snacks and lunches right now!
Please let us know that you are interested by signing up at signup.communityenv.org or by contacting us through Volunteer Match. Thank you so much!More opportunities with Community Empowerment Northern Virginia

About Community Empowerment Northern Virginia
Location:

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
