During our May 2021 membership meeting, we were fortunate to be joined by Steven Myers and Matt Bechtel, who gave an overview of the FCPS volunteer hours program, opportunities and tools available to students, and other useful info. They kindly agreed to let us post their presentation here.
In addition, we had the pleasure of hearing from Kim Luckabaugh from Volunteer Fairfax. Included after the Myers and Bechtel presentation are some links to some of the info on the Volunteer Fairfax page that she highlighted during her presentation.
