Volunteers can have a tremendous impact

In 2009, 85 individual volunteers and 31 groups gave over 1,800 hours of service to Sarah’s Circle. Volunteers bring extra life and joy to the space of Sarah’s Circle.  We extend a generous thank you to these caring individuals!

Each volunteer who comes to Sarah’s Circle arrives with a set of skills and experiences to offer as well as specific volunteer interests and goals of their own.  At Sarah’s Circle, each volunteer works with the Volunteer Coordinator to create a position that is of mutual benefit to our agency, the clients, as well as the volunteer.  We not only welcome, but encourage volunteers to think creatively as to how they would like to contribute. 

There are many ways for volunteers to make a difference at Sarah's Circle.
