Current Volunteer Opportunities:

  • Community Needs Assessment Project – Researcher

Conduct a needs assessment survey with a crew of passionate community members. This project aims to assess the current and future needs of the community to better allocate FGCA resources. To achieve this, volunteers will work together to list existing datasets, collect new info, and draft a survey to distribute to the community. Our goal is to identify these gaps in order to inform future decisions at FGCA.

Highlight the variety of initiatives and activities that make Fairfield Gonzales lively!
