Volunteers play a central role in the life and growth
of a nonprofit organization.
With volunteers, costs can be contained,
extra services provided, funds raised, the
marketing message communicated to a wider
audience and future board leadership is
developed.
Without volunteer participation in all
aspects of the organization, our jobs become
more difficult, costs go up and the nonprofit
runs the risk of becoming insular and not
responsive to the needs of the constituents they
are dedicated to help.
o
Corporate Volunteer Opportunities –
Switzer
Learning
Center
has worked with several local companies and
service organizations to provide group volunteer
opportunities for health and career fairs,
holiday activities and parties, and campus
improvement projects.
We would love to work with your
organization and create a volunteer project that
will uniquely meet our mutual interests.

Saachi volunteers)
o
Individual Volunteer Opportunities –
are available for individuals who would like to
offer their time and talent to a special school.
Contact
Dr. Rebecca Foo, Executive Director and we will
match your wishes and our needs to make a
difference in the life of a “special” child.
To become a regular volunteer who has on
going contact with students, a finger print
screening and TB test is required by the
California Department of Education.
