CHANGES IN THE MAKING!

Real and lasting change requires engagement in the decision making, development and implementation process. The Center is seeking a large number of volunteers who are passionate, creative, and dedicated in shaping the Center to meet the needs of all segments of the population from babies to boomers, from grapes to fine wine. Help us create the “Center” that will attract all these folks. Utilizing your talents and experience in the volunteer jobs available. Becoming a volunteer for the Center is easy and rewarding. We put our volunteer’s talents to great use. It takes all kinds of people to get our events and activities staffed. There is literally something for everyone and not all volunteer commitments are created equal; some require a few hours, while others are a monthly commitment of 2-15 hours. As a volunteer you have the opportunity to hone your leadership skills, work closely with people with similar interests and make a difference. The best way to find out if the Center is a good fit with your personal and professional goals is to call or come into the Center and discuss the roles that we have available. The greatest benefit of the Center comes from meeting people and the networking that happens when you roll up your sleeves and participate.
