“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
– Jane Goodall
Do you want to make a positive, long-term change that will have an impact on individuals, their families, and ultimately our community? We do, too!

Literacy House Volunteers:
Literacy House volunteers may help in the office with various special projects that include mail-outs, filing, inventory, etc.
