April 7th Volunteer meeting success Qspot’s “Calling All Volunteers” meeting on Monday, April 7th was a huge success. More than 30 people attended our first official event at the Community Health Center in Asbury Park, our new space. The enthusiasm in the room was palpable as we learned about school bullying legislation from parents involved in PFLAG and other issues facing gay youth from an advocate employed by Monmouth Cares. Brookdale Community College students joined our meeting to learn more about Qspot in preparation for a class presentation. Volunteers with various background, but with a common desire to contribute their skills to the GLBTI community, in particular our gay youth, signed up to give their time and energy to further Qspot’s goals. Photos from the gathering are below.
There are still many opportunities to volunteer for fundraising, publicity and communication, the youth initiative, event set-up, Quesday presentations, and much more. Just follow the “volunteer” link here to learn more. |
