We welcome volunteers, not only because they help us out, but because they become part of our community—people with whom we celebrate and share the joy of shared life.
There are no specific age or education requirements. For us, some of the most important criteria are an open heart, willingness to learn, commitment to personal growth, and belief in the unique sacredness and value of every individual.
To learn more about specific volunteer opportunities, please reach out to kcolon@larchelongisland.org.
