BEL at the House of Friendship
Volunteer
We need your help! Volunteers are needed to work at the BELRAG booth in the House of Friendship throughout the convention.
Whether you can spare just an hour, two, or more, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. It's a lot of fun and a fantastic opportunity to connect with others who are interested in basic education and literacy projects. You will experience Rotary at its best as you engage with visitors about their BEL projects and share your own.
