We may be social-distancing, but we can still give back!
Mark your calendars for Young Blacks Give Back, part of Thursday Network’s signature initiatives!
This year Thursday Network members will spread volunteer service in the DMV to reinforce the importance of giving back. We are excited to announce that this year’s event will feature meaningful ways for members and the general public to sow into communities that need support the most!
