Volunteering in the Bay Area

I have absolutely loved working the nonprofit organization, The Black Neighborhood this year. This was my first full year working with them to give back to our community in the Bay Area.

Having the ability to go on hikes, and lead a mindful moment with others that enjoy a safe space to explore outdoors was nothing short of amazing. I look forward to our 2025 season. The work this organization is doing is exactly what our community needs. #nonprofit #volunteering #community #sustainability
