As we close out the year and look to 2024, local and national leaders are scheduling countless service projects, capacity-building trainings, and social events to happen in honor of Go Day across the nation. Here are five to watch. Plus, how to find more Go Day events happening your area, and how to get notified when new Go Day events you can attend hit the Roll Call calendar.
How to Find Go Day Events
To find Go Day events happening anywhere in the U.S. (and especially in your metro) simply visit Roll Call, click on “Events & More” in the menu bar, then choose “Find Events”.
Once you’re in the new Find Events calendar, simply type “Go Day” into the search bar. Or, since Go Day happens on January 13 every year, you could also just filter for events happening on or around January 13, 2024.
