The Rochester-Area 20-Somethings (R.A.T.S.) is committed
to giving back to our community, and helping those less fortunate.
Our model for Community Service events is both to organize events
specifically for our members, and to team up with other Community-based
organizations in our area, including Rochester
Cares, the Greater
Rochester Jaycees, and soon, The
City Walk. By doing so, we can get even more people charged
up and making a difference in our community!
The R.A.T.S. will soon be collaborating with The
City Walk and Rochester
Cares on a significant community project that we expect will
take place in early January. We're envisioning a volunteer community-building
project, followed by a fun social event where we can all celebrate
our hard work. Stay tuned for more details!
