Hey there yogis! We're heading to the National Mall for DC Yoga Week's annual Yoga on the Mall event. We'll breathe deeply, do a few downward dogs and warrior ones and enjoy the beautiful scenery of our nation's capital.

Volunteers will receive a complimentary t-shirt and a booklet of 10 free taste tickets to use at the Taste of Arlington. For every volunteer at the event, AFAC will receive $50. DCYP will serve the 11am - 2pm shift. After our shift we'll enjoy the festival together and use our free tickets! Email dcyp.service@gmail.com to sign-up.
