GCNSSC provides volunteer opportunities for both individuals and groups:

Individuals

  • All potential volunteers are invited to scheduled Orientation Meetings.

  • At our Orientation Meeting potential volunteers learn about special events and volunteer opportunities, have their questions answered, and express interest in specific projects.

  • Volunteers can choose to conduct regular workshops (on a weekly or bi-weekly basis) or to take part in established workshops.

  • We also offer weekend volunteer opportunities.  This is a time when most of our individual volunteers can help out on various client and staff projects.

  • We support our volunteers with Q&A and feedback sessions where volunteers can discuss their experience and offer suggestions.

  • Calendars of upcoming events are posted for volunteers on a monthly basis.

Groups

  • Groups consist of 2 to 10 volunteers, but we do accommodate larger groups for bigger projects.

  • Following their orientation, volunteer groups tour our facility and then go to their chosen service area.

  • For Food Services volunteers, we can accommodate groups of up to five people (including supervisors).

  • Groups also have a Q&A a feedback sessions where volunteers can discuss their experience and offer suggestions.

  • Most group sessions take place Monday-Friday, but we can occasionally accommodate a weekend group.

  • A calendar of upcoming volunteer events is posted monthly.

Our Director of Development works with over one thousand volunteers annually.  Volunteers come from schools, corporations, religious groups, and other non-profit organizations. GCNSSC is always looking for committed people to join our team of community volunteers.  We know you have something to offer!
