The Renaissance Collaborative is a community development nonprofit that provides supportive housing for the chronically homeless and low-income seniors and workforce programs for our residents as well as the broader community! This year, TRC invites you to join our NEW Event Committee. This committee will serve to prepare for our two annual events: the February Friend-Raiser and the October Benefit. You have the ability to choose your time commitment by signing up for sub-committees that align with your interests: decor and guest experience, silent auction, program and entertainment, publicity and ticket sales, small business solicitation, corporation solicitation, and/or honoree experience and engagement. Event committee meetings take place the first Thursday of every month at 6 p.m. Central Time and subcommittees meet as-needed and based on availability of the subcommittee members. Let's come together to serve, expand our network, and have fun at the same time!
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
