Volunteer
 |
Volunteers are vital to the implementation and administration of LightShare programming. They offer unique talents and share the gift of time to enhance many aspects of LightShare. Their participation sustains our organization so that we can serve many more members of our community and offer outreach through a variety of opportunities. Our organization makes a commitment to volunteer recruitment, selection, orientation, training, evaluation, and recognition to ensure that our volunteers feel prepared and rewarded for their service. If you are interested in sharing your time and talent with LightShare, please contact us. You will receive a Volunteer Information Profile to complete and meet with Cameron about your interests and skills.
