Barrington Area Volunteer Connection (BAVC) had a great month honoring Volunteer Month in April. Our annual event Volunteer Connection Live drew in residents who have already joined our online platform and started volunteering, highlighting how quick and easy it is to make an impact via BAVC! With May now well underway, we want to keep the momentum going! With over 100 nonprofits listed on our platform, it is easy to find a volunteer opportunity that meets your interests and skills. Below is a small sample of what is currently available on BAVC: Boys Club & Girls Club of Northwest Suburbs
