love to have your help!

specialized skills such as financial planning, counseling, graphic arts, marketing, etc.
and are willing to volunteer with nonprofit agencies on an as-needed basis. The Registry
program is perfect for volunteers who are interested in short-term volunteering while
working with a variety of nonprofit agencies. When a qualified nonprofit agency notifies
us of a need that matches your skills, you will be contacted by the agency to determine
your interest and availability. If you would like to participate in our Volunteer Skills
Registry Bank, please print out registration form,
fill it out and bring to the Volunteer Center for your initial interview.
