Join the Volunteer Action Center for a week of volunteer opportunities to celebrate Earth Day! Every day this week, the Volunteer Action Center will be hosting events in collaboration with various nonprofit organizations across Northwest Arkansas, including Cobblestone Farms, the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks and NWA Land Trust. Volunteer events include trail cleanups, gardening, invasive plant removals and more! Sign up today at https://linktr.ee/sevac.

Another opportunity to participate in Earth Week is by completing an Earth Week bingo card. You can find the bingo card and more information at @uavac on Instagram or in recent GivePulse announcement emails from the Volunteer Action Center. You have until Saturday, April 29, to submit your bingo card for the chance to win a Hydro Flask water bottle or a hammock! Once you have completed a bingo, send an email to vacse@uark.edu that lists the organizations you volunteered with, so we can verify completion.

For a week of meaningful environmental impact and service, join the Volunteer Action Center for Earth Week 2023!
