Want to learn more about volunteer opportunities?
Whatever skill or interest one has, it is likely that it would benefit in some way. If you can help with grant writing, fundraising, posting flyers, button making, bookkeeping, creating scrapbooks, administrative tasks, scheduling potlucks, putting together volunteer newsletters, or have a knack or inclination for mowing, maintenance, or construction projects, then volunteer!
