We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
~Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Volunteer Opportunities
To volunteer, you and a parent must contact the Volunteer Coordinator to schedule a shift. This is just a list to help you find volunteer opportunities. You can volunteer at any nonprofit in the community and it will count. For Elementary age kids and younger, if you help out those less fortunate (ex. elder neighbor), or help improve your community (ex. recycle, pick-up trash) it counts.
