Nonprofit Organizations Provide Volunteer Opportunities
Below is a list of our non-profit members. Many of these organizations rely on the generosity of volunteers who devote their time and energy in a variety of ways.
Volunteering is usually seen as an unselfish act given strictly for the aid it gives to those being served. What volunteering also does is give back to the volunteer a sense of accomplishment, worthiness and value. It can as quickly bring a smile to the face of the volunteer as it can to the person being helped.
If you are considering volunteering in our community, please contact any of the organizations listed below for more information.

The mission of ShirleyArts! is to support and promote the visual and performing arts for education and enjoyment. This involves holding classes, putting on amateur plays and concerts, and bringing professional performances to the schools and the town. We have many opportunities for volunteers. Opportunities include advertising and ticket sales, being an usher or working backstage at performances, some people are skilled at making costumes, finding props, constructing sets and painting scenery. Other people contribute to the group by loaning their large vehicles to help move furniture and scenery. In the summer, crews are needed to run the food concessions at the summer concert series. Those who give cash donations to help sponsor programs are also appreciated. Board members do much of this and also search for and act on programs to be sponsored. To learn more, go to www.shirleyarts.org. Contact Artistic Director Meredith Marcinkewicz at mail@shirleyarts.org if you would like to become involved with ShirleyArts! .
