Volunteer at Cottage
There aren't one or two ways to volunteer at Cottage, the possibilities are limitless! Our volunteers have varying interests, talents, and time available. Our goal is to match each volunteer with a school/student support that meets the needs of our students and recognizes the unique qualities of the volunteer - a win, win combination!
