Our Volunteer Program is being relaunched after being on hold for several months. I just started this role and am excited to get things up and running again! We want to find ongoing, committed volunteers who are understanding our clients' and organization's needs. I am determined to work with each volunteer to find their best fit and ensure they have an enjoyable, memorable, and life-changing experience.
