June Month of Service

In celebration of NAMWOLF’s 25th Anniversary, we are excited to launch a Month of Service in June—bringing our members and partners together to make a meaningful impact in communities across the country.

Throughout the month, participants are encouraged to engage in service activities that reflect their passions, whether through organizing projects or partnering with nonprofits. This initiative highlights the power of the NAMWOLF community and honors 25 years of connection, growth, and purpose.

We invite all members to participate, share their stories, and help us mark this milestone through service.
