Volunteers at the Catherine McAuley Center enjoy helping others learn, making new friends, the satisfaction of contributing to the community, and sharing their talents. We encourage you to join our volunteer efforts – make a difference and have fun doing it!

Volunteers serve from one to several hours a week with morning, afternoon and evening flexibility.

How can you help change lives?

· Become a tutor for the Adult Basic Education program. Help those studying English as a Second Language (ESL) or preparing for their General Educational Development (GED).
· If you liked to keep busy, help with clerical work of answering phones, filing and data entry.
· Maybe business is your forte. Lend a hand with the production or sale of Catherine’s Comfortable Tea.
· If you’re gifted with organizational skills, assist with the planning and execution of fundraising events.
· Joining a committee is a great way to meet others and be connected with community leaders.
· Donate to the food pantry or help organize inventory.
· Maintenance and repair handy-work is always needed – electrical, plumbing, carpentry, furniture repair, appliance repair, vehicle maintenance and lawn care.
