Volunteers Needed
The Pride Center needs volunteers to act as sitters and answer the HelpLine
phone. The Center is staffed by volunteers from 6 - 10 PM on weekday evenings and
from 12 - 10 PM on weekends. If you can volunteer 1 night a week, 1 hour a week,
once a month, whatever you can manage will help keep the Pride Center open.
Volunteers are also needed at the HOPE testing clinic. Training classes are
available for those interested in getting involved, but volunteers are also needed to
help with filing and answering the phone.

these monthly operating expenses. Any assistance will most certainly help.
