| VOLUNTEER PROGRAM |
CMDHD Volunteer Program allows for community members to give their time and talents to the
community while developing professional skill, career network, and invaluable friendships.
Volunteers are an integral part of CMDHD. The skills and talent of our volunteer
staff increases the overall effectiveness of the agency and promotes community involvement.
CMDHD requires a certain level of commitment from volunteers in the program. This is
beneficial to the volunteers, as it gives them the opportunity to gain experience and develop
professional skills and networks that would otherwise be difficult to guarantee. Commitment
is essential to the agency as well because it allows us to provide quality opportunities to
our volunteers and maintain a high level of service to our community. CMDHD offices are
normally open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. If any volunteer work
is to be done after hours, volunteers will be notified in advance.
