It’s an “attitude” and “commitment” to reach out to our neighbors.
Love Where You Live is an attitude of caring for others.
Love Where You Live is a commitment to help others.

Becoming a Love Where You Live Partner or Volunteer
Becoming a partner or a volunteer is easy – it simply requires your participation. A group or individual’s level of participation determines the status of partner or volunteer! Both are equally important and the Love Where You Live Team welcomes all participants! Each Love Where You Live project has two very important meetings that all potential partners and volunteers should plan to attend: the stakeholders meeting and the volunteer training & project adoption meeting.
