Days of Light Volunteer Project
The original concept for the Days of Light Volunteer Project was created by Karen Lile in 1992, before Building Bridges was incorporated. In 1996, it became a part of Building Bridges when it was first implemented with Building Bridges Concerts for Kids Project in cooperation with the Retired Senior Volunteer Program of Contra Costa.
Days of Light Volunteer Project works with local non-profit organizations, social groups, and employees of corporations to give opportunities to volunteers to help in the community. The projects are defined by Building Bridges and the ComTeams (Cooperation of Many Teams Accomplishing a Mission) that Building Bridges organizes for specific purposes. The volunteers are organized by the social groups, non-profit organizations or companies that they belong to.
Building Bridges role in this project is to match groups of volunteers and the organizations they come from with projects that Building Bridges sponsors so that the community can benefit.
