“I have a passion for history and a career as a teacher, so it seemed natural for me to start volunteering. As time passed, I began to grab any opportunity to be of service to these women, whom I’ve come to love so dearly.”

There are a variety of options, from guiding tour groups and sharing your clerical skills to assisting with activities in our health care and providing transportation for sisters.

Are you a graduating college senior or perhaps you just retired?
