Auxiliary Board
Grow Your Career & Give Back to Your City!
The Association House Auxiliary Board combines professional networking with hands-on community outreach. Together, we volunteer, raise funds, and grow awareness in the wider community - all in support of the House's mission.
Connect with passionate professionals & make a profound impact while you do it!
Volunteer
Give back to the families and children we serve through our annual toy drive, Back 2 School Fair, and fundraising events.
Network
Hang out with fellow young professionals at Trivia Night and Summer Soiree, our annual fundraising parties.
Organize
Step up when your city is in need. Rely on a network of passionate people to stabilize and uplift your neighborhood!
Our Auxiliary Board Raises $20,000 annually.
That's enough to get 160 participants to and from our services every day for a year; or, enough to give 85 participants basic care and emergency food packages every week for a year; or, put 35 participants through specialized career training that will set them up for lasting success. Will you help us make an impact?
