About Me

Communities In Action is an MEÂ³ program. It is a 'bank' of individuals in Wake County, NC, who have signed up to get involved to help the community by working with several partnering non-profit organizations in the county, including over 45 charitable groups across the spectrum such as the Literacy Council of Wake County, the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, Marley's Cat Tales, and the American Diabetes Association.
Individuals of any background, with any skills, and with any amount of time to give - from one hour total to ten hours a week - can sign up to join MEÂ³'s Communities In Action by filling out the registration and waiver forms at the MEÂ³ website: http://www.me-3.org. The form includes questions about an individuals skills, interests, time availability, and causes they might be passionate about in order to find the specific volunteer opportunity that can be the most fulfilling and enjoyable to the individual volunteer. Once this form is submitted, MEÂ³ will review it and search for the volunteer opportunity that matches the person best. Once matched, MEÂ³ will connect the new volunteer to the organization offering their volunteer opportunity, and help evaluate their experience after their service.
