Volunteers greatly contribute to the Center's accomplishments and are considered a valuable component of the organization.
Volunteer assignments are based upon the current needs and projects of the Center and on the expertise and interests of the volunteer. When a match is found that mutually benefits the volunteer and the Center, the assignment is offered to the volunteer. Volunteer Application
