As part of its Lunch & Learn series, the Champaign County Chamber will host the 2nd annual Volunteer Info Fair and Panel Discussion on Tuesday, Sept. 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Urbana University’s Student Center.

The event will begin with a Volunteer Info Fair from 11 to 11:45 a.m. Fifteen Champaign County organizations are scheduled as exhibitors to showcase their work and volunteer opportunities. Attendees can find out more information about the missions of these nonprofits and how to support their efforts through volunteering and can sign up for volunteer opportunities.

At 12:15 p.m., several representatives from the nonprofit community will present information on volunteerism. Mercy McAuley Center Volunteer Coordinator Jessica Pettit will provide attendees with tips to recruit and retain volunteers, Alicia Titus Memorial Peace Fund founder Bev Titus will discuss her organization’s work in the community, and Urbana University Community Relations Manager Shana Loveless will discuss student volunteerism.
