BE A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM MANAGER

Take ownership! Run a volunteer program and see the lives of people you help change before your eyes. Program managers are the backbone of the volunteer programs run through our community service department. Their dedication, determination, and sincerity towards their work are invaluable to the individuals and organizations they serve. Not only do the program managers give of themselves, but many also find the experience both personally and professionally rewarding.

“When I went through [the volunteer tutor-training program], I was assigned a student who was once in trouble with the law and drugs. I felt this was the whole purpose of tutoring and I became a mentor. Volunteering has given me contact with someone I would never get to know. We all need to step out of our world. It's all academic until you meet someone – then it becomes real.” – Toby Gottesman, Washington Literacy Council program manager.

BE A PLANNING COMMITTEE MEMBER

Do you have media relations, event management/planning or fundraising skills? Volunteer them! Help large scale days of service such as Everything...but theTurkey and our most special December 25th Community Service Day.

Volunteer program managers and planning committee members earn free fitness membership for the duration of their service. It's our way of saying thank you.
