Empowering Latino Futures needs your help!
We would like you to become a volunteer
We have been blessed with over 350 volunteers each year to help run and expand the various programs we run. We have approached volunteers for each program or need individually rather than here's a variety of ways to participate. This is our first call overall where you can sign up for a variety of programs. As each event of activity gets closer, if you've signed up to help on that effort, you will get more info on ways to help with that program.
As Alicia Georges, AARPs National Volunteer President shares, "When we volunteer, we give and we gain. As we touch the lives of others, we improve our own life. Research shows volunteering offers many health benefits."
We sincerely thank all of you for considering ways to possibly work with us.
