Volunteer

You can make a real difference in the lives of the people that use our various services. Bookstore Attendant:

- The bookstore volunteer serves as our telephone "switchboard," directing calls appropriately. These volunteers also may need to assist customers browsing or making purchases in the store. Computer Instructor:

- Volunteers in the computer lab teach valuable computer skills to unemployed people, making them better equipped to work in the professional world. If you have a specific computer program you would like to teach for about two hours per week, please let us know - we'll do all we can to build it into our class schedule!
