• Valuable training is provided for all volunteer positions.
• Build your self-confidence and feel valued.
• Enjoy the satisfaction of making a difference.
• Volunteer hours are logged and acknowledged.
• Letters of reference will be available for work performed which will add to positive work resumes.
