Volunteer Alexandria Introduces Initiative for People 55 and Over
A New Volunteer Initiative for 55+
By Courtney Gonzalez, Nonprofit Program Manager
Alexandria, VA – We’re thrilled to introduce our new program designed to empower adults 55+ through civic engagement and volunteerism. This initiative connects older adults with meaningful service opportunities that not only make a difference in the community but also foster valuable social connections. Our next opportunity will take place on April 11. Volunteers will help us prepare for our Volunteer Recognition Event by making buttons abd name tags for attendees. Register at volunteeralexandria.org.
April is Global Volunteer Month, a time to recognize the incredible contributions of volunteers who dedicate their time and expertise to making our city a better place. At Volunteer Alexandria, we are proud to celebrate dozens of volunteers at our upcoming Volunteer Recognition Event, honoring their commitment to service. Take part and RSVP. Volunteers are needed to support this event. Register at our website.
In addition to celebrating volunteers, spring is a season of giving. Spring2ACTion, Alexandria’s biggest day of giving, is just around the corner. This annual fundraising event supports local nonprofits that provide essential services, from food security to education to housing support. As the city’s volunteer center, we not only connect people to service opportunities but also encourage giving in all forms—whether through time, skills, or donations.
Make an impact and Spring2ACTion for VolALX. Your support fuels our mission to connect volunteers with meaningful opportunities that strengthen our community. Every dollar helps us inspire, mobilize, and engage more people in service. Visit spring2action.org and donate today to keep the momentum going and make a lasting difference in Alexandria!
Coffee & Craft: In partnership with Piece Out, Volunteer Alexandria is hosting two coffee meet-ups in April for federal workers and contractors. Together, volunteers will work on a fun and impactful craft project benefiting children. Register at our website.
