Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are essential for us to fulfill our mission. We are always trying to grow our volunteer base and appreciate any time they are able and willing to spend with us.
At this time, we are looking for volunteers (18 years or older) for the following roles. Once a volunteer waiver is completed and you have completed a training day, you may sign up in advance for volunteer roles throughout the week. Please send completed waivers to mer@thenavigationcenter.org. Be sure to add the roles you are interested in.
