Volunteer for Garten
Volunteerism is a long-standing American tradition that—over the decades—has made an immeasurable contribution to individuals, organizations and communities throughout the country. Today’s volunteers are dynamic, active, creative individuals who dedicate their skills, compassion, patience and time to accomplish a wide variety of tasks.
We’d love to have you volunteer with us at Garten Services!
Whether you’re interested in participating on the planning committee for our annual fundraiser dinner/auction or bringing your expertise to help our job trainees . . . whether you’d like to spend time with our Day Break program participants to help them remember they are a vauled part of the community or assist in one of our business enterprises to model appropriate behaviors for our program participants ... whether you can offer your office support skills or help with our annual holiday party or summer picnic ... we’ll find the perfect way for you to achieve the volunteer opportunity you’re hoping for.
Volunteering can motivate you, revitalize your dedication and help you remember what is important in life. Service isn’t a chore, it’s a privilege!
“We don’t know who we are until we see what we can do.” ~ Martha Grimes
