Volunteer

Over the past decade, hundreds of community residents have volunteered to do everything from tutoring children to gardening to refinishing woodwork in the building. Each year, more than 120 local residents volunteer their time to serve on our board and committees, work in the library, or assist in the after-school or summer programs.

These volunteers are crucial to our organization both because of the hard work they do and because their presence strengthens the VLP as a true nexus of the community.
