RCL is looking for Volunteer Service Opportunities to support our community. If you are involved with an organization or know of an organization that is in need of volunteers, please email our Local Community Services Chair, Heather Broadhead, Heather@bfg-inc.ca, with a detailed description of the need and requirements. From there, a call will go out to our members to assist.
The RCL Youth Services Committee is looking for volunteers. The objective of the Youth Services Committee is to develop and implement educational and support projects that address the needs of young people in London. The Fanshawe College Rotaract Club was established by the RCL with this objective in mind. We are currently in need of a member wiling to assist our Fanshawe Rotaract Club as Club Liaison. This member would attend Rotaract meetings and advise Rotaract members where needed. Interested members can contact Youth Services Chair, Randy Harden randy.harden@gmail.com for more details.
