About Volunteers

Volunteers Needed

It is a new year and our team here at the Family Literacy Center has started a new

initiative called “Utilizing Our Talents.” We know that many of our volunteers have

exceptional skills in specific areas and we may be not tapping into that incredible pool of

talents.  We hope to change this.
