Positively Service

Active members of Naperville’s service community contribute to the quality of life in this city and often times way beyond its borders. Naperville thrives because our service organizations attract dedicated members with fundraising ideas that benefit the needs of nonprofit humanitarian organizations. Every service group has a distinct mission and its own personality. Every organization continually seeks new members. Web sites are linked below with details of how you might join one.

PN welcomes input from representatives of the various service organizations regarding their primary fundraising events, initiatives, service projects, community grants, scholarship awards, etc. Thanks to all volunteers who make a difference here, there and everywhere.

Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.  —Margaret Mead
