On Saturday, November 16, 2019, Valley Village will be proudly hosting "Community At Large," a special day for people with intellectual and developmental challenges to come together to celebrate our community with a day of exploration and fun. This year, we will be holding "Community At Large" at the California Science Center. RSVP to Jennifer Haake, Development & Volunteer Coordinator for Valley Village at (818)587-9450, ext. 131 or by email at jennifer@vvc.org, by November 13th to volunteer for this event.

We will be needing volunteers to help our clients and staff navigate the museum, complete a scavenger hunt, and participate in outdoor games so we don't overcrowd any one area. Other volunteer jobs will include handing out snacks and waters as it might get hot during the event. Volunteers will need to arrive by 11:45 am and meet at the IMAX theatre in front of the California Science Center entrance where we will check everyone in and assign groups to explore the museum with.

Most importantly, we hope that you have a blast exploring the museum with the clients and different agencies attending this fun-filled event.

Parking is available but costs $12. If you volunteer far enough in advance, we can arrange for you to travel with one of the group houses by van from our office in Winnetka to the museum and back. Another option is to take the Metro Expo Line, which stops across the street from the Expo Park/USC Station.
