Opportunities to Give Back

Goodness is about character – integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, and moral courage. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.

Volunteer today and help your local community! Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back, have fun, and get involved. We offer great opportunities whether you are looking to volunteer regularly or for a short-term project such as an event or holiday campaign. They may not all be visible, but there are many people in need in our community and other nearby communities. When you volunteer, your actions have a direct and immediate impact on improving the quality of life for many.

The Center policy requires that every volunteer fills out an application and participates in VirtusTraining (protecting God’s Children for Adults). Unfortunately, we cannot accept volunteers with certain criminal charges on their records. Required background checks are always completed in advance.
