WACC is always looking for volunteers. Whether you have a day, a week, one day every week, or want to help every day, we can use your help. As an agency that operates on less than $75,000 each year, we rely on volunteers to keep our agency running smoothly. We currently are looking for people to help us in the positions listed below.
