We believe in the difference that volunteering can make to individuals and communities. We are looking for an enthusiastic Volunteering Coordinator to help sustain and increase our reach. We are just entering our 30th year and have lots of exciting events and activities planned which will involve a range of activities for volunteers to be involved with. It's a great time to join us.
