Looking for a volunteer opportunity that's fun and social, as well as great for the community? Look no further! One Brick provides lots of rewarding projects, that are also fun and social. We make volunteering easy... we don't require any sort of on-going commitment, nor any troublesome orientations, like some organizations do. And signing up for a One Brick event is as easy as the click of a mouse. If you're looking for a fun way to give back to the community and meet like-minded social volunteers, then One Brick is the way to go. Here's an upcoming event you might be interested in...

One Brick (www.onebrick.org) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides support to other local non-profit and community organizations by creating a unique, social and flexible volunteer environment for those interested in making a concrete difference in the community. This enables people to get involved, have an impact and have fun, without the requirements of individual long-term commitments. When we finish each volunteer project, we gather as a group at a local bar or restaurant for food, drinks and the opportunity to continue to get to know each other. This helps to create a really fun social outlet as part of your volunteer experience. Here's a little more information about the upcoming event: Event Description The Canary Challenge continues to be a fully supported bike ride, offering a 5km walk/ride/run, 50km, 50-mile, 75-mile, and 100-mile rides -- all with multiple food and water stops, mechanical and medical assistance, and plenty of SWAG. The rides cater to all levels of cycling strength -- from children, to fixed gear bikes and tandems, to time trial champions, the Canary Challenge is a ride for everyone! Over 1000 riders and 150 volunteers participated in the event in 2014 and raised $1.1 million for the Canary Center at Stanford. This year, Canary Challenge cyclists will ride with the goal of raising $1.5 million for the Canary Foundation and cancer early detection research programs. Unlike many other organized charity bike rides, the Canary Challenge ensures 100% of all funds raised are directed to the event beneficiary. We hope to have approximately 1,500 riders this year. What we'll be doing One Brick will be helping with a variety of areas including volunteer registation, participant registration, gift bag distribution, and the beer and lunch booth. Volunteers will also be helping to cheer cyclists on during the race. Roles will be rotated over the course of the event to keep things interesting and fun :-) What you should know All volunteers will receive a t-shirt, food and beverages. Snacks, coffee, and general drinks will be available at the volunteer tent. No drinking of alcoholic beverages is allowed by volunteers. The village is outdoors, so we recommend wearing sunscreen and checking the weather beforehand to dress accordingly. Where to meet Sign in at the volunteer booth located behind the food trucks. There you will receive your volunteer shirt, lunch tickets and more instructions about your position. Â
