Why Volunteer?
“It’s really a quality of life issue. The volunteers have opened up new avenues and new resources that the staff cannot provide, either because they don’t have the time or they don’t have the knowledge. Some of the individuals we serve may not have the opportunity to do some of the things they are currently doing without the volunteers. You are another person involved in the individual’s life who is not paid to be there.”
—Amy Flint, Director of Placement at St.Vincent New Hope
St.Vincent New Hope values our volunteers and the difference they make in the lives of the people we serve.
