MAKING A DIFFERENCE in your life and the lives of others. Does this interest you? **We have great opportunities for retired people, college students looking for an internship opportunity, who are seeking volunteer opportunities that they can list on their college applications. We are in need of volunteers who would be interested in working "behind the scenes," assisting in the day-to-day office operation. Office volunteers assist with answering phones, data entry, special projects, etc. As a volunteer, you are able to set your schedule and we would provide FREE training so you would be comfortable with the assigned tasks.
