Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering for CCC

In 1999, some 109 million persons volunteered nationally, or a record 56 percent of all adults. Their efforts equated to nine million full-time employees and $225 billion of labor. (Source: Independent Sector, a leadership forum.)

"What sets volunteers apart from the rest of the world is that they are people who care but do something about it."
