In addition to large ongoing programs, JLSB’s Done-In-A-Day (DIAD) program provides a dedicated group of JLSB volunteers to nonprofit agencies who are limited in achieving their goals due to lack of women power, but which do not have a need for League volunteers on an ongoing basis.

The DIAD program enables the League to assist Community agencies on short, intensive projects that can be accomplished in a one-time evening or weekend effort.

Purpose

Done-In-A-Day (DIAD), is a program focusing on supporting new and on-going projects and events that positively impact our community in all areas.  DIAD provides elected projects with volunteer support to ensure completion and success of the events involved.  If your program can be developed in a one-day project and your target is to create and/or strengthen South Bend’s sense of community involvement, your organization could benefit from partnering with us.
