CURRENT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
THE VILLAGE THRIFT SHOP
The Village Thrift Shop is a great place to volunteer and is always looking for help. The Thrift Shop is donations-based so the proceeds go back to The Village Centers. You can help clean and organize the store, collect and sort donations, or assist customers. Volunteer shifts are available every day of the week during regular store hours. Please visit The Village Thrift Shop page (link) for more information about store hours and location.
Volunteer with our Villagers in the classroom to help support them and increase their circle of friends! The Kyle Brusatori Multipurpose Center is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and you are welcome to volunteer any time during the day. As a classroom helper, you will assist Villagers with activities such as reading, math, hand-over-hand learning, cooking lessons, and playing bingo and other games.

We also need volunteers to accompany our Villagers on community outings as an extra pair of eyes and ears. Outings may include bowling, area attractions such animal or amusement parks, the movies, restaurants, and more.
All volunteers are supervised and supported by a staff member.
There are numerous opportunities at The Village Centers Day Programs to make a difference. We need volunteers to help deep clean on a semi-annual basis, wash and detail our 10 vehicles, wash windows, pressure wash, paint, and the list goes on! Volunteer sessions for projects such as these are available to be completed throughout the week. Everything we can get a volunteer to assist with versus paying for it means more money goes back into our programs to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
