Volunteer Opportunities

Catholic Charities has opportunities for individuals or groups who are interested in volunteering one time or on a regular basis. Many of our volunteers have become part of our family and have formed lasting friendships. Interested in being a Board Member? All of the offices have their own Advisory Board.  Questions about being a Board Member email Jasmine at drake@cc.dio.org.
