“Volunteering is an act of heroism on a grand scale. And it matters profoundly. It does more than help people beat the odds; it changes the odds.” – William J. Clinton
Get Involved
Volunteers are the backbone of our operations. Without their dedication to our organization and generous help, we could not provide the services we offer today. Several opportunities are available within Community Pathways of Steele County, Inc. Our volunteer opportunities are for 3-3.5 hour shifts. You can work one day a month, two days every other week, or one day a week. The amount of time is up to you.
We believe our volunteers have a rewarding experience that brings care and compassion to others and themselves.
