Volunteer Louder

Music. Community. Conservation. We were proud to support the upcoming River Roads Festival with our first volunteer day at Harriton Preserve in Bryn Mawr, PA.

Alongside Dar Williams, Lower Merion Conservancy, Rising Sun Presents, and an incredible team of volunteers, we helped restore Mill Creek’s ecosystem by removing invasives like multiflora rose, Japanese knotweed, and mugwort, mulching trails, and transplanting native asters. We also loved learning about creek health through a hands-on macroinvertebrate lesson.

These efforts will help strengthen the tree canopy, stabilize streambanks, and improve habitat in Mill Creek and throughout the Schuylkill River watershed.

Huge thanks to everyone who worked so hard throughout the afternoon, and to Dar Williams for inspiring her fans to come together through music and community action. 💚

As a bonus, volunteers earned tickets to the River Roads Music Festival on June 27 in King of Prussia, featuring Dar, 10,000 Maniacs, Billy Bragg, Shawn Colvin, Susan Werner and more.

Stay tuned for more info on our next River Roads volunteer initiative coming on June 28, the morning after the festival.

From concerts to conservation, giving back sounds better than ever! 🎶🌿

Huge thanks to the dedicated volunteers who joined us for our final volunteer event of the year. Coming back to where first launched in 2021 made it especially meaningful.
In just under two hours, the team sorted 100lbs of medical supplies and detailed quality checks on another 300–400 lbs—critical resources that will reach communities in urgent need.
AFYA rescues unused medical supplies that would otherwise be discarded and gets them into the hands of healthcare workers responding to disasters and supporting community clinics in the U.S. and abroad. The ripple effect of this work is real, and we’re grateful to be part of the process.
As a bonus, our volunteers earned tickets to New Year’s Eve run at The Cap—so expect some dancing in the streets soon 💃🕺
Thanks to all for making our big-hearted community what it is.
Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right. ❤️✨ 🤘
