Local Non Profits

Locals List: A Guide to Volunteering

In Summit County

                                                          

Volunteering is a great way to:

·        meet people and make new friends in Summit County;

·        build your resume and gain marketable skills;

·        get to know your community and its decision makers;

·        explore different types of work and learn more about jobs that interest you.

Volunteering is good for you, and for the community too. So think about putting yourself to work for one of our many local non-profits.  Consider volunteering your time and participating in the decision process that guides Summit County by attending local Planning Commission, Town Council or Board of County Commissioners meetings.

For more information about specific volunteering opportunities, call the organizations listed

in the following pages, or contact the Summit County Volunteer Center at 453-9021.
