When can I get started?

I have recommended this organization to friends who have extra time. There are numerous opportunities to volunteer. Situations vary as far as physical demands and education are concerned. There are volunteer opportunities out there that fit my many out-of-town trips (including my three months in Florida).

Work environment is nice and friendly. They respect your choices and allow you explore new areas. They are supportive and helpful. I love working with them and will continue to volunteer as long as I can.
