We have had wonderful partnerships on the Dawson Springs project and are excited to return and continue to help them with another eight to ten weeks of volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are still weeks open for volunteers who would like to serve in Dawson Springs one last time before the site is closed for good.
