Hullo Alums! Looking for a way to serve this ? HandsOn Miami & HandsOn Broward is having a special event to to honor the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy in 2018.

This is intended to be a friendly, informal way to reconnect AmeriCorps Alums in Miami (or those who have some tie to Miami, regardless of whether you are here now or not). You may have been an active member of the AmeriCorps Alums Miami Chapter in the past or are new to the group and interested in meeting other National Service alumni; this meeting will be fun for you.
Hope to "see" you all then!
