Volunteers can have a tremendous impact
Each volunteer who comes to PCR arrives with a set of skills and experiences to offer as well as specific volunteer interests and goals of their own. At PCR, each volunteer works with the Volunteer Coordinator to create a position that is of mutual benefit to our agency, the clients, as well as the volunteer. We not only welcome, but encourage volunteers to think creatively as to how they would like to contribute. There are many ways for volunteers to make a difference at PCR. If you (or your group) are interested in volunteering, please contact Kathy Parker, Volunteer Coordinator, at (773)840-4618o. All volunteers will complete a required New Volunteer Application.
