Intro to Thread is a two-hour interactive orientation workshop for prospective volunteers that explores the mission, people, values, and policies of the Thread community. Participants will learn about why Thread does the work we do, how we work with young people in Baltimore City, the basics of volunteer roles, and be able to take the next step to join the Thread community as a volunteer.

You can sign up for Intro to Thread when you complete a volunteer application. Check out the upcoming dates below and choose the time and location that work best for you.
