Please note this email newsletter has a new look and will now come from Heather Englander, BVU.

BVU makes volunteering EASY by connecting businesses and individuals with meaningful opportunities to serve nonprofits.

Is your New Year's resolution to give back to your community, but don't know how to follow through? BVU connects you with volunteer opportunities that maximize your impact - whether serving on a board, sharing your skills, or volunteering your time.

BVU's Volunteer Center is an online hub that allows you to easily browse, search, and register for volunteer opportunities with Northeast Ohio nonprofits. 

BVU is once again hosting Cleveland's annual Homeless Stand Down on Saturday, April 20th at Cleveland Public Auditorium.

This transformative event provides individuals experiencing homelessness with resources, respite, and reconnection through access to 75+ partner organizations and service providers, hot meals, new clothing and hygiene items, haircuts, and much more.

Volunteer registration will open in March. In the meantime, learn how you can support this year's event and consider making a donation to help our neighbors in need. 

Are you ready to make a difference at the nonprofit board room table? BVU believes that community leaders should represent diverse voices and experiences. As part of our Minority Pipeline Initiative, we are pleased to host this introductory session to discuss how nonprofit board service can provide valuable development and networking opportunities.
