Looking for a volunteer opportunity that's fun and social, as well as great for the community? Look no further!
One Brick provides lots of rewarding projects, that are also fun and social. We make volunteering easy... we don't require any sort of on-going commitment, nor any troublesome orientations, like some organizations do. And signing up for a One Brick event is as easy as the click of a mouse.
If you're looking for a fun way to give back to the community and meet like-minded social volunteers, then One Brick is the way to go. Here's an upcoming event you might be interested in...

One Brick (www.onebrick.org) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides support to other local non-profit and community organizations by creating a unique, social and flexible volunteer environment for those interested in making a concrete difference in the community. This enables people to get involved, have an impact and have fun, without the requirements of individual long-term commitments.
When we finish each volunteer project, we gather as a group at a local bar or restaurant for food, drinks and the opportunity to continue to get to know each other. This helps to create a really fun social outlet as part of your volunteer experience.
Here's a little more information about the upcoming event:
About Chicago Light's Elam Davies Social Service Center:
The Elam Davies Social Service Center (EDSSC) provides services for adults and families who are homeless or living in poverty due to the lack of affordable housing and other issues that result in homelessness. Practicing hospitality to strangers is fundamental to EDSSC's mission. The Center serves more than 10,000 dinners and lunches each year, helps people to find solutions for meeting other basic needs, and accompanies people on their journey to self sufficiency. The Center has served "the least, the last, and the lonely" with dignity and respect since 1983. For more information, visit www.chicagolights.org.
Twice a year, the Elam Davies Social Service Center (EDSSC) reorganizes its clothing closet to accommodate clothing that is suitable for the appropriate season. One Brick volunteers assist with the spring "switchover" so that the closet is fully stocked with appropriate clothes to meet guests' needs.
Other Event Info:
Please wear comfortable clothing (layers recommended). As a safety precaution, all participants are strongly encouraged to wear closed toe shoes. All One Brick volunteers must be 21 years or older, please.

The workcamp project will take place in Social home for high-school students in Plovdiv. The Home is situated on the bank of Maritza river, in the second largest Bulgarian town. This is one of the biggest social establishments in the country providing home and care for more than 140 young people at the age of 5 to 16 years. The socially disadvantaged background of most of the children is considered to be the reason for many problems, which they face in school, in their contacts with other people, in their everyday life. The interaction with other young people from different countries, while working, playing, learning together in the frame of an international volunteer project is essential for their socialization and adaptation.
