Volunteer CenterThe Volunteer Center is the catalyst that connects volunteers to opportunities in the community. People often want to make a difference in their community, but have questions about where help is needed or what skills they can contribute. The Volunteer Center answers those questions by providing information and education about the wide variety of avenues for people to volunteer. The Volunteer Center thrives at facilitating positive volunteer experiences because it is conscious of organizations' efforts and knows where volunteers fit best. The Volunteer Center is where the compassion of Central Indiana citizens successfully meets the needs of the community to bring about change.
