Description of Wallingford, CT
The Wallingford branch of AYLUS is dedicated to strengthening our local community through volunteerism and fundraising. Our goal is to bring people together by making a positive impact—one project at a time.
We’ve already planned several exciting events for the Wallingford area, including:
Landscaping along the Quinnipiac Trail
Volunteering with CT Food Share
Handing out water at the YMCA Fishbein Road Race
Collecting recyclable bottles
Leading craft classes at the Wallingford Public Library
We are an inclusive, student-led organization, and we welcome all teens in the Wallingford community to join us! If you have a passion for giving back or an idea that could benefit the community, we’d love to hear from you and help bring it to life.
