Review for Communities Of Shalom Inc, Fairmont, WV, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I have been a member of Communities of Shalom, Inc. for approximately 7 years. I have volunteered with special projects such as Building Bridges of Respect, Global Gathering, Fund-raisers, and serve as the Treasurer of the organization.

For me, Shalom accentuates the positive in our community. The group seeks out small projects that have a big impact. For instance, Shalom supported and guided Teen Court into existence.

Shalom also offers a support system to the international students at the local university. We provide an opportunity for them to share their cultures and integrate more with the community.
