VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
"Too often we under-estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
— Dr. Felice Leonardo Buscaglia
Most community-based nonprofits rely on volunteers to provide the essential services their clients depend on, and Victim Support Services is no exception.
