What are Give Back Tristate Volunteer Events?
Give Back Tristate's events are primarily one-day, weekend projects at various community locations needing assistance. Event scope and logistical planning is done by the Events Committee. Members provide the elbow-grease to carry out a successful project. Events may include cleaning, painting, landscaping, construction, and fundraising.

What are Give Back Tristate Social Events?
Give Back Tristate hosts informal social events to celebrate the completion of each project. After each project we celebrate the day's event with a social gathering, where Give Back Tristate members meet new friends and network with peers of similar interests.
