Seeing volunteers active
in the community, enjoying
their volunteer experience,
and sharing their skills with
others is the best part of my
job. I love getting to know
volunteers, and helping them
to find opportunities that
will allow them to utilize
their skills and expand their
experiences. Ask me about the
application process, and how
to get involved in events and
recreation programs. Email me
