Volunteer

One of Beacon’s most valuable resources is our steadfast crew of Volunteers!!

Each and every one of our Volunteers brings with them a love of community, a desire to be a part of something larger than themselves, and a support network for those we serve, as well as one another.

Folks who begin volunteering for a million different reasons, stay because there is something truly magical about Beacon…

We may look like the Island of Misfit Toys, but we have the feeling of home and family… <3

“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy.  You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.” -Anonymous
