Have you ever thought about volunteering but weren’t sure where to begin? Or do you know someone who could use a little inspiration to become more involved in our community?
The Chihuahuan Desert Education Coalition invites you to a special evening with Diane Perez, longtime volunteer, conservation advocate, and co-founder of the Chihuahuan Desert Education Coalition.
Over the years, Diane has dedicated countless hours to volunteering with the El Paso Zoo, the Chihuahuan Desert Education Coalition, and several other community organizations. During this informal presentation, she will share her personal journey—how she first became involved, what volunteering has meant to her, and the many friendships, experiences, and opportunities it has brought into her life.
Whether you are already an active volunteer or simply curious about getting involved, Diane’s story is sure to inspire you. If you have a friend, family member, or coworker who has been looking for a meaningful way to give back to the community, this would be an excellent program to attend together.
