We hope that you will volunteer at Mountin’ Hopes. For a person with special needs, just a one hour class each week can make a real difference. As a volunteer, so will you.
We have a wide choice of volunteer opportunities for those with different interests and abilities. Volunteers really are what keeps Mountin’ Hopes running. Consider joining the Mountin’ Hopes family!
