Volunteer & Internships

There are opportunities to volunteer either on a regular basis, one of of two boards, or for specific projects.

Individuals and groups are welcome to volunteer for short term, goal specific, projects. Our greatest need for volunteers at this time are for the front desk. Expectations are to commit to at least one or two hours per week, depending on the scope of the project.

If you are interested in volunteering, the first step is complete the Volunteer Application. A printable application can be found here.
