Volunteers
Volunteers are very important for the success of the Center. Several people of all ages volunteer their time and talent. A majority of the volunteers are registered with the RSVP program of Monroe County. RSVP volunteers earn a meal allowance and mileage while they volunteer their time. Volunteers help in a variety of ways.
