Get Involved
Volunteers and interns donate 5000 hours annually, the equivalent of 2.5 staff members. Without those who donate their time, we would not be able to accomplish all we do.
We're so grateful for our volunteer team!
The first step to volunteering is to join an upcoming Mission Tour to learn more about us.
