2024 COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER & JOB FAIR

Sunday, May 19^th
12pm – 4pm, Nevada County Fairgrounds, Main Street Center Building

The Center for Nonprofit Leadership in partnership with the Nevada County Fairgrounds, the County of Nevada and Connecting Point, is producing Nevada County’s Annual Community Volunteer & Job Fair at the Fairgrounds on Sunday, May 19^th.

Our community is rich with individuals and nonprofit organizations that enhance our lives every day with their commitment to help people connect, grow and thrive. The event will see dozens of local nonprofit and community impact organizations, including the Nevada County Fair, participating as ‘vendors’ of volunteer and job opportunities.  These groups will be ready to share their needs and employment options with job seekers and volunteers as they seek to engage civically minded community members in their work.

This unique event will provide not only the opportunity, but the space, to encourage individuals with a passion, and the desire to step into service of our community and to find an organization that will provide the place to make that a reality. 

CALLING ALL NONPROFITS!

If you are interested in having a booth at the Volunteer & Job Fair, don’t miss out and sign up NOW!

The event is FREE to the public and promises to be a delightful afternoon of community and connection. Share this opportunity with fellow community members and nonprofits. Don’t miss this new, annual event and find the place to put YOUR Passion in Action! For more details, visit the CNL website page

We’re kicking off our Screen-Free Week Partner highlights with the Nevada County Library! With locations in Grass Valley, Nevada City, Penn Valley , Bear River and Truckee, Nevada County Library has an incredible calendar of events to celebrate Screen-Free Week 2024!

The Nevada County Library invites you to embark on an unforgettable journey of off-screen adventures to rediscover the magic of real-life connections.

In today’s digital age, where screens dominate much of our time, this week encourages people to step away from screens and explore alternative forms of entertainment and connection. It’s a chance to rediscover the joys of face-to-face interactions, outdoor activities, and creative pursuits, fostering a healthier relationship with technology.

And that’s not all! In addition to its usual weekly lineup, the Nevada County Library is thrilled to offer an array of grab-and-go screen-free crafts. From inspiring journals to soothing meditative exercises, tantalizing word searches, and engaging bingo cards, there’s something to ignite the spark of creativity in everyone!
