Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference in your community? The Open Line is always looking for volunteers who are willing and able to dedicate their time, energy, and/or resources to assisting local families in need.
More than 200 volunteers generously contributed more than 4,000 hours of service to The Open Line from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Their time and talent was spent driving patients to medical appointments, stocking shelves in the food cupboard, tutoring GED students, assisting with office projects, and serving on committees. These volunteers have expanded staff capacity and given back over $90,000 (based on the value of $21.79 per volunteer hour) to the Upper Perkiomen Valley community. Without the dedicated efforts of volunteers, many of our programs simply could not happen.
The Open Line offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. Our goal is to find the best possible match that fits your schedule and interests. Your time and effort as a volunteer is appreciated by The Open Line. Volunteer opportunities include:
