Done In A Day: The Done In A Day (DIAD) project enables the League to assist community agencies which do not have a need for League volunteers on an ongoing basis. DIAD provides volunteer support for community projects needing help for a one or two day special event or have a one time need for extra volunteers. When nonprofit agencies are limited in achieving their goals because of lack of manpower, this program provides a dedicated group of JLB volunteers to work on short-term projects.
Application Process:
- Requests for DIAD volunteers must be submitted to the Committee Chair at least forty-five (45) business days prior to the event to be considered and all form fields must be completed.
- The Chair of DIAD Committee will notify each agency requesting assistance of receipt of this application within fourteen (14) days.
- Each application will be reviewed by a committee to ensure it meets all criteria listed below. Approved DIAD requests will be presented to members of the Committee and participation encouraged but we cannot guarantee volunteers.
