VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Are you thinking about helping others? Do you need the right incentive? Think about what it would be like to make that one-on-one connection and know that you helped a youngster learn how to read? How would you like to be a strong role model and teach a bunch of young men and women how to improve their basketball game.

Volunteering means sharing your time, talent, and a lot of heart. What you get back in return is satisfaction and a "thank you". The Salvation Army is a natural place to volunteer because we are in communities helping the most needy. Our work is only complete because we rely on trusted volunteers who want to make a difference.

There are a number of ways to give back to your community. You can start by first deciding to take the plunge and become a Salvation Army volunteer.

For more information, please contact Laura Templeton at (570) 326-9187, ext. 103.
