WHY VOLUNTEER SBCOC
Making a Difference in Our Community!
ABOUT OUR VOLUNTEERS
We are called to serve.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life, but they all share one thing in common: the desire to serve others. It is through the service of S.B.C.O.C's volunteers that we are able to provide our services to those in most need within our community.
Many of the volunteers at the Center are seniors and are signed up with the AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP - Hands On California program and volunteer approximately four hours per week. Volunteers are also welcome who are only available for a short term or who are in need of completing community service hours for schools, courts, or medical rehabilitation programs.

FLEXIBILITY
We have volunteers who work as little as one 3 hour shift a week to a full 15 hours a week. Some are only able to volunteer in the summer. Whatever the case may be, please take time to stop by and see how we can set up a schedule that will suit your needs while you can provide your skills for the needs of others!
FRIENDSHIPS
Volunteering SBCOC is a great way to meet new people as well as develop friendships along the way. Also, feel free to encourage your friends to join you on your new adventure. The more the merrier!
