It might be a few months before school is back in session for the fall semester, but it’s not too early to mark your calendar for back to school fairs in the city.
Junior League of Dallas is partnering with the Office of the Dallas Mayor for the 27th annual Dallas Mayor’s Back to School Fair. The organization will offer volunteer training and planning support for the fair on Aug. 4.
This year, Junior League of Dallas will oversee the 300-400 event volunteers from training to placement, as well as create a community outreach plan and improve the overall participant experience, according to the press release.
“We are excited about this new partnership with the Office of Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson, as it will allow us to do what we do best – provide trained volunteers to serve within our community,” Junior League of Dallas President Emily Somerville-Cabrera said.
Each year, more than 10,000 students in grades Pre-K to 12 and their families are provided essential school supplies, valuable services, and resources at the back to school fair at Fair Park.
