WESTERN NC — WAMY Community Action is thrilled to announce its 2025 WAMY Warrior Volunteer Service Days, an initiative designed to bring people together for hands-on projects that benefit low-income families in Watauga, Avery, Mitchell and Yancey counties. Whether you’re an individual, a student, or part of a business, faith group, or civic organization, WAMY invites you to lend a hand and make a lasting impact.
To prepare volunteers for this exciting opportunity, WAMY is hosting WAMY Warrior Volunteer Orientation Sessions at various locations in April. These sessions will provide attendees with information about WAMY Community Action, upcoming service projects, and simple training to prepare volunteers for the rewarding work ahead.
Orientation Session Schedule:
- April 5th – WAMY Office, Spruce Pine, NC
- April 12th – WAMY Office, Newland, NC
- April 26th – LaQuinta Inn & Suites, Boone, NC
- Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
The WAMY Warrior Volunteer Service Days will begin in May and run through October, taking place on Saturdays (weather permitting) in the four counties served by WAMY Community Action. Volunteers will receive a detailed calendar of events during their orientation. These service days provide the community with an opportunity to come together and create positive change.
“Volunteers are at the heart of what we do,” says Yolanda Robertson, Volunteer Coordinator for WAMY Community Action. “The WAMY Warrior Volunteer Service Days allow people to roll up their sleeves and make a real difference. We can’t wait to welcome new volunteers to the team and build stronger communities together.”
Those interested in becoming a WAMY Warrior are encouraged to sign up for one of the orientation sessions today.
