This event has been going on for the past several years, and is a great way to talk to representatives from a number of different nonprofits.  It will help you figure out which volunteer opportunities in Memphis you would most enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>This year they&#8217;ve expanded it.  In past years they&#8217;ve limited participation to 35-40 nonprofits&#8230; but this year they&#8217;ve upped it to 75.  So there will be plenty to see, plenty of people to talk to.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to volunteer opportunities, some of the nonprofits will also have information about serving on their boards.  Serving on a board is a great way to gain some leadership experience, and it looks great on a resume (I was told that one of the reasons I got my current job is that the manager liked my community involvement, having served on Mpact&#8217;s board).<\/p>\n<p>The expo is open to the public, and there&#8217;s no charge and no reservations required.  So come on down and see how you can help make Memphis better.  Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to get involved in the community, consider coming to the 2007 Nonprofit Expo, co-sponsored by Mpact Memphis and Volunteer Memphis, at the Botanic Gardens (on Cherry Road between Southern and Park), Thursday, January 25 from 5:30-8:30 PM.
