The Volunteer Program
An opportunity to help others
-- and yourself.
Volunteer opportunities are available in all programs at Episcopal Social
Services.
The volunteer program is vital to the success of Episcopal Social Services,
since volunteers perform most of the program services. Many people from area
churches find their volunteer time at ESS can be both an expression of their
faith commitment and baptismal vows, as well as an opportunity to learn ministry
skills and grow in their spiritual life!
