The Civic Club of Oakland welcomes new members. All that is required is a desire to meet new people and to contribute to the greater community by volunteering your time and talent. Our general meeting schedule is March to November but you can join us any time! Membership is $35/year (June though May)
Being a member of the club is not all about work! There is also a lot of fun to be had and new friends to be made... all with the same objective of helping the community.
Fellowship + Fun = Fundraising for Nonprofits
Below is a list of the activities with a brief description for possible service areas you may be interested supporting as a member of the club.
