Volunteer with Us
At Italian Community Services, volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Their dedication and generosity are vital in supporting our services to the Italian Community.
Our volunteers deeply care about the Italian culture and want to give back to ensure our community members feel supported – but you do not have to be Italian to volunteer with us.
We welcome ALL who wish to enrich our organization and the lives of our community members. Whether you have a few hours or are looking for a regular opportunity, your contribution will have a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve.
