I started volunteering with this agency so I could use the skills I had and learn something new in the process. The volunteer coordinator looked at my resume and knew right away what department I would fit into. WOW! I could see myself staying here for a long time. They offer volunteering in many areas, employment, counseling, case management, education, etc. I cannot say enough how much I am appreciated and thanked for my service. As volunteers, we are included in the trainings along with the staff. I would recommend this agency to anyone that wants to do an internship, learn and do something different. I really look forward to coming here every week!
