Note Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and subsequent collapse of the economy, many of us are out of work and either looking for a new job or waiting for our employers to reopen. Volunteering is one of the ways you can add to your resume. Community involvement is one of the criteria reviewed during the hiring process. Why not volunteer with us? It’s a definite “win/win.” We benefit from your input and involvement. You benefit by being able to use us to augment your resume.

Volunteer

Without a doubt, our team of volunteers is our most important asset. We are a totally volunteer nonprofit grassroots organization, so every aspect of our operation is performed by a volunteer. Because of this, we can offer a wide variety of service opportunities. No matter what your interests are or whatever skills you have, there is probably a satisfying job waiting for you. This is also a chance for you to try something different, network in the community, make new friends, and become part of team.

How much time is required?

That is totally up to you. Based on your availability and interests, you will select your own level of involvement. Whatever time you can spend with us will help and will be appreciated.
