Community Connection
Enjoy Giving Back to Your Community? Join the Chapter’s Community Service Challenge!
The ALA Golden Gate Chapter Community Service Challenge is a new program that coincides with the GGALA Board Year from April 2021 through March 2022. To encourage, or simply acknowledge, all the good works of our members and business partners, participants earn points by volunteering in the community, or by donating to non-profit organizations. The chapter then highlights the top points earner in each quarter, and also the top pointe earner for the entire board year. Here’s how it works:
Volunteer activities and donations will be self-reported through THIS FORM. The program will be run on the honor system, you do not need to provide donation receipts. To learn more about the program, how points are awarded, and when you need to volunteer/donate to quality for the quarterly/annual prizes, read the full announcement HERE. Thanks for giving back to our community!
