Additional Volunteer Opportunities

Here are current listings on Volunteer Match, the website we use to coordinate volunteers.  When you click on a link below, you will be taken to their site where you can register for an opportunity.  Wonner, our volunteer coordinator, will then email you to confirm.   Children are welcomed to help at public events when they are old enough to understand they are attending to help others.  This experience provides a great leadership opportunity for children.  We often put them a table or two away from parents so they're on their own.
If you have additional questions, contact Suzan or call 313-640-4411 x 5.
