As we get into the full swing of summer, Barrington Area Volunteer Connection (BAVC) has opportunities to volunteer outside this summer and a few of them are event related.
Barrington Hills 5 & 10 K Run/Walk on June 29th!
Volunteer and help make the ‘Land We Love Run‘ a huge success! The race raises funds for Folds of Honor to provide educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled Military and First Responders. (Donations for Cuba Township also will be accepted that day.)
All volunteers welcome and this is a family friendly & wheelchair accessbile event. Help to setup as early as 6:00 AM and clean-up starting at 9:30 AM.

BACOG Photographer Needed !
Barrington Area Council of Governments (BACOG) would love help from a local photographer or resident with a camera phone to help us capture images that show off the amazing Barrington region.
Specifically, photographs of resources across the Barrington area, including:
village halls and township offices, bike paths (both on and off road), equestrian and walking trails, crosswalks and local parks and county nature preserves are needed.
This is a great way to show your photography skills while getting outside to enjoy our beautiful community!
(The volunteer must own the rights to the photographs and grant permission for them to be used in BACOG publications, and on its website, social media platforms, and other public forums.)
If you are looking to volunteer this summer, Barrington Area Volunteer Connection (BAVC) is the best local resource if you want to volunteer in the Barrington Area. BAVC’s free & easy platform helps connect over 100 local nonprofits with volunteers in our area!
To learn more about how you can register as a nonprofit or as a volunteer, please visit www.thebavc.org.

The foundation of BAVC is a volunteer match platform called Get Connected which serves as a clearinghouse to bring together organizations, volunteers, and collaborators to match volunteer interests with nonprofits needing assistance.
