We're excited to offer two meaningful volunteer opportunities for GLIN IPA staff on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. These hands-on experiences are a chance to make a real impact in the lives of families throughout Western New York.
And don’t forget – GLIN IPA has generously given each employee 7.5 hours of Volunteer Time Off (VTO) for the year. This is a perfect opportunity to use that time to support causes that matter.
Join us in the morning, afternoon, or BOTH!
Note: A personal account on VolunteerWNY.org is required to sign up to volunteer for these projects. Please use your existing account from last year or create a new account. Be sure to sign the waiver as well.
Please sign up on VolunteerWNY.org by June 1, 2026, and email Kathleen Brown with your t-shirt size.
