VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are necessary and extremely helpful for a healthy community. People from all walks of life donate their time and effort to various causes, day and night, every day of the year. In a human services setting, agency clients and program participants usually can’t distinguish between volunteers and paid staff, unless nametags make those designations.
The more connected to a community people feel, the more likely they are to take responsibility for the community and feel pride and a sense of commitment. Mobilizing community resources and expanding capacity through volunteers also enhance an organization’s general profile, which can attract more volunteers, program participants, and funds.
Many ways volunteers can help us.Are you passionate about membership? join our Board of Directors, a Committee as an Advisory, Fundraising, Planning events, Recruiting volunteers? become more intimately involved with the success of the PACC.
