Every year, hundreds of volunteers generously donate their time to work alongside with our spirited trainees, plan our fabulous special fundraisers, or assist our instructors in the classrooms.
We would not have been able to provide as many job opportunities to our trainees without the help of our wonderful and dedicated volunteers.
Volunteering with The H.E.A.R.T. Program is a rewarding experience, and we are always in need of compassionate, enthusiastic volunteers!
