SOURCE National Volunteer Week
Each year in April, SOURCE hosts National Volunteer Week to highlight and celebrate the incredible service being done in our communities throughout the academic year by students, faculty and staff in partnership with Baltimore community-based organizations. Various activities are planned to wrap up the 2024-25 academic year, including our Toiletries Donation Drive, an enriching social justice workshop, and our Spring Tri-School Day of Service.
