Hill Center does a Volunteer fair in April for Capitol Hill area organizations and residents.

I think something like this needs to be offered at the city-wide (county-wide) and political district/neighborhood scales.

One thing I like about good street festivals is when they feature nonprofit and neighborhood organizations, but most such festivals aren't particularly systematic about doing this.

Picking up and later reading the "Restore the Core" report by the Sierra Club at their booth in Adams-Morgan in 2000 probably was one of the things that triggered my getting involved directly in local civic affairs, starting with my then languishing neighborhood of H Street NE.
