Greater Cleveland Volunteers Executive Director Kevin Gross will soon be heading to Washington, D.C., to advocate for the importance of national service programs. While our team is in Washington, D.C., you can make a difference right here at home!

We hope this Advocacy Action Calendar gives you some ideas and inspires you to get involved. Whether you choose to take one action or all 20, each step helps amplify our voices and build a more connected community.

As we gear up to celebrate our nation's history, let's also celebrate the people who strengthen it through service, volunteerism and civic action.
