We Need Your Help!
It takes a village to pull off a Summit! That's where you come in. We're seeking volunteers to offer 4 hours of their time to make sure that the Summit is a welcoming and engaging experience for the hundreds of Racial Equity advocates who will be gathering together on August 8-9, 2025 at UMSL.
Perks

The volunteer interest form is now closed. Please email res@forwardthroughferguson.org with the subject: Volunteer Interest if you are interested in volunteering. Due to capacity, volunteer registrations are limited.
