Summer 2009 Volunteerism

Volunteers!!!

With summertime approaching, Union Rescue Mission has seen an increase in volunteers ready and willing to serve. Many youth groups have chosen to serve closer to home, volunteering at URM instead of going to Mexico for missions trips. Since March, we have seen a steady stream of youth groups participating in Urban Experience, our overnight volunteer program. Groups spend the night on the URM rooftop during their volunteer stay.

Also, due the job market, we have seen many more professional volunteers willing to give more of their time. Many of these volunteers are currently unemployed, but have decided to do something and give back by volunteering their services at URM until they secure a new job.

Here are some volunteer events coming up this summer:

* June 22-26: Crossroads Community will be holding a Vacation Bible School for the children of URM.

* July 21st: Bel Air City Sound Concert on the Roof – All URM residents will be invited to enjoy a barbeque dinner and an evening concert on the rooftop.

* August 2-7: Indian Hills Camp will be hosting at Day Camp for the children of URM.

If you’d like to make a difference in the lives of our guests, contact the volunteer office at (213) 347-6300 x1148 or via email volunteer@urm.org
