Volunteering for the UP Center has been a very positive experience, and I look forward to working with them in the future. The staff at the UP Center is organized, driven, and passionate. They are also fun, patient, and encouraging. They have clear goals of where they want to the organization to go, and clearly articulate how my (modest) contributions support their larger vision.
