Volunteering Has Changed!
While we are battling the pandemic, we have several changes to our volunteer program. We have suspended our monthly group orientations and trainings and are onboarding individuals on an as-needed basis. We still need volunteers in many program areas! Please contact Ann, our Volunteer Director, at ann@sistercarmen.org to get started.
