Rochester School for the Deaf
We would love to have an opportunity to have FLCC students join us as volunteers or participants for either of our two big events of the year: RSD River Ramble (5K Walk/Run/Carnival in June) and Adventures in Education (presentation by a world-renowned "adventurer" in October). *Knowledge of American Sign Language is helpful but not required for either of these volunteer opportunities.

Rotary Club of Canandaigua
We are a service organization whose members are passionate about giving back to our world and our community, but are sometimes lacking the skills to attract a younger demographic on the social media platforms with which they are most familiar. We would like help - not only with the projects that we do, but with broadcasting to the greater community in a way that will draw in interested participants! Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. We invite students to attend our meetings, which are held on Thursdays at the American Legion at noon. There is no charge. Lunch is available, and lunch for your first visit would be as our guest.
