Volunteers Wanted in Suttons Bay
May 3, 2025
It has taken time, but volunteerism is finally bouncing back after the COVID pandemic. The U.S. Census Bureau partners with AmeriCorps to survey civic engagement every two years, and in 2024 they found volunteering is up nearly five points from its 2021 low of 23.8 percent of the population. (Though the number of hours served per person has continued to decline.) Want to help improve those statistics? Leelanau County is holding a Volunteer Fair at the Friendship Community Center (201 West Broadway in Suttons Bay) from 4-7pm on May 19. Attendees will learn about local nonprofits in Leelanau County (there are dozens of them!), meet with representatives from those organizations, and explore ways to get involved. The fair is geared toward experienced volunteers and newbies alike. Learn more at friendshipcommunitycenter.org.
