VOLUNTEER WITH VCIC
The Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities could not reach schools, businesses, and communities across Virginia without the dedicated support of volunteers. At VCIC, volunteers help deliver youth and adult programs, convene special events and raise funds, and provide administrative support in our office.
Current Volunteer Opportunities:
Volunteer at the 2025 Tidewater Diversity Dialogue Day
Diversity Dialogue Day is a one-day high school forum that brings together students from public and private schools in a particular geographic area in Virginia. The Diversity Dialogue Day curriculum takes participants through a process of awareness-to-action. At the conclusion of the Diversity Dialogue Day, participants develop strategies for increasing awareness and promoting inclusion within their schools. The 2025 Tidewater DDD will take place on March 12, 2025 from 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM at Old Dominion University. Facilitators are also required to attend a mandatory Facilitator Training on March 4, 2025 from 6:00-8:30 PM.
