Take our volunteer challenge 

It's a great time to do something for your community. More than ever, the need is great. Volunteer hours you would have given to Sound of Music this year can be instead offered to Burlington organizations. Lend a hand and we’ll share opportunities to make a lasting contribution in the city.
