Community Service Opportunities for the Norcross Service Unit
JUST CALL, EXPERIENCE, AND ENJOY
JUST CALL, EXPERIENCE, AND ENJOY
Please be aware that some of these are suited for certain age groups. Always check with the contact to ensure your age group can perform the required functions. If an organization has an address not in Norcross, they may have an event close by that you might want to be involved in. Just call and ask. If you travel downtown for a volunteer event, make a day of it! In the past, troops have worked handing out water at Race For The Cure in the morning then had lunch at the Rock Café. Just enjoy the day!
