Volunteering Made Easy

Looking for something different to do? How about a fun event where you can meet cool people and have a part in making our community a better place?

One Brick organizes fun volunteer events that give back to the community. Each event is designed to help foster social and career networking opportunities for our volunteers - after a couple of hours of doing good, we all gather at a local bar or restaurant for food, drinks, additional conversation and networking.

If you're looking for a fun way to spend a few hours and maybe meet some cool people, then One Brick is the way to go. Here's an upcoming event you might be interested in...

One Brick (www.onebrick.org) is a 501©3 non-profit organization that provides support to other local non-profit and community organizations by creating a unique, social and flexible volunteer environment for those interested in making a concrete difference in the community. This enables people to get
involved, have an impact and have fun, without the requirements of individual long-term commitments.

Here's a little more information about the upcoming event:

Each year, the San Jose Jazz Festival brings the best of jazz to San Jose with 80+ performances and 10+ stages located throughout downtown San Jose. Jazz, blues, latin salsa, big band & international, jazz legends and rising stars. The Jazz Fest raises funds for the San Jose Jazz's music programs, and One Brick is stepping up to help!
