Serve Illinois Blog
Serve Illinois' blog incorporates insights from our collaborations, events, Commissioners, and other amazing volunteer leaders throughout Illinois. Since then, the purpose of the blog has expanded to showcase the voices and thoughts of those on the ground working to make communities stronger. We want to share why Illinois residents are volunteering, the impact they are having on communities, and the impact volunteering is having on their lives.
If you have a story to share, let us amplify your voice. Contact us for information on how to get your story featured.*
