AAPI Montclair is hosting its first Color Run on Sunday, April 3 to celebrate the spring festivals of Holi and Songkran.

Holi is a popular Hindu festival, also known as the “Festival of Colors” and the “Festival of Spring” where entire streets and towns turn red, green and yellow as people throw colored powder into the air and splash them on others.

While the tickets for the races are sold out, people can still get involved by volunteering at the run.

The event held in Brookdale Park includes a 5K and 1-mile Fun Run on April 3, 2022. All proceeds raised will support AAPI Montclair’s mission to create a more inclusive community by uplifting the varied experiences of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, advocating for AAPI rights and representation, and promoting awareness and education around AAPI culture and history.

Hi there, I’m Spencer and I’m a high school student here in New Jersey.

As a high school student, you want to find the perfect volunteer opportunity here in New Jersey, but don’t have an easy way to identify all the organizations and projects that work with high school students. I understand because as high school student, I myself have been going through this exact experience.

I believe every high schooler should have easy access to all of the ways their own talents, time and gifts can help others around us. It shouldn’t be so hard to find a good volunteer opportunity.

That’s why I founded NJHSVolunteers.com — to help research, aggregate and organize a database just for high school students.

If you know of any organization or event that is coming up where high school students can join in, please share this site or go ahead and add a listing so that others can benefit.

BTW, all donations are tax-deductible since NJHSVolunteers is a 501c3 organization. You can donate here.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
