Las Vegas students who are interested in volunteering their time and nonprofit organizations looking for assistance are invited to the third annual Project: Volunteer event from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, at the Veterans Memorial Leisure Services Center located at 101 North Pavilion Center Drive. The event will provide a venue where nonprofit organizations can provide individuals with information on volunteer opportunities. The event is free for both organizations and individuals seeking information.

The event is being sponsored by the city of Las Vegas and Ward 2 Councilman Steve Wolfson.
