GET INVOLVED
Volunteer to Make a Difference! Volunteers play a central role in the life and growth of any nonprofit organization. With volunteers, costs can be contained, extra services provided, funds raised, messages communicated to a wider audience, and future board leadership developed. Without volunteer participation in all aspects of our organization, our mission becomes more difficult, costs go up, and the organization runs the risk of becoming insular and not responsive to the needs of the students we are designed to help.
