Volunteer Opportunities
Summer Youth Volunteers support our Seniors’ Programs. Youth develop their communication and leadership skills when they help seniors acquire computer skills in our Learning Computer Skills workshops. Other youth volunteers learn how to grow herbs and vegetables as they help seniors maintain their community garden plots.
