GIVE BACK TO ST. LOUIS
VOLUNTEER WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS
A pril 20 is Volunteer Recognition Day, and while appreciating the volunteers in our community is great, actually participating in volunteer opportunities right here in St. Louis seems like an even better way to celebrate. Here are a few organizations that are especially meaningful and stand out to us. THE MICA PROJECT The Migrant & Immigrant Community Action Project is an organization that works with immigrants who have low-incomes to overcome barriers that may be in the way of leading fulfilling lives here in the United States. They provide education, advocacy, organization, and legal services to those in need. Finney Injury Law loves to support the MICA project and you can too through several of their
volunteer opportunities. They’re always seeking translators, office assistance, fundraiser volunteers, and pro bono collaborations with businesses. Check them out at MICA-Project.org to see what you can do locally. FOREST PARK If you’re looking for volunteer work that can also help you celebrate the arrival of spring and holidays like Earth Day and Arbor day, then Forest Park Forever is a great choice. Forest Park is one of the largest and most popular urban parks in the country, attracting over 13 million visitors every year. Not only do volunteers help clean up and maintain the public park, civic centers, and attractions, but there are opportunities to help raise funds for restoration projects, participate in educational events, and
help with administrative tasks. Go to ForestParkForever.org to sign up. MISSION: ST. LOUIS This organization strives to transform the lives of those who suffer from poverty and its deep-rooted issues. They provide education in schools and help identify students who may need additional resources in order to have a better chance to succeed. Volunteers can contribute by spending time in classrooms and after-school programs to focus on a variety of subjects or lead enrichment activities like yoga or speech. They even look for job coach volunteers for kids of a certain age bracket. Mission: St. Louis presents a great way to give back by teaching kids a skill set you’re an expert in.
