During National Volunteer Week, we celebrate the impact of volunteer service and the power of difference makers. Join us during this week as we host unique volunteer opportunities for those looking to get involved, but aren’t sure where to start. These opportunities will give you a sneak peek into what it is like to volunteer with The Foundry. You will have the opportunity to serve alongside staff and other volunteers as we work to restore hope and rebuild lives.
