At Home on the Sound welcomes volunteers from all walks of life and offers them the opportunity to help their neighbors and their community. Whether you have just an hour to spare or can devote more time, we have an opportunity for you!
There are many perks to volunteering for At Home on the Sound - in addition to the positive feelings that come with doing something meaningful. At Home on the Sound hosts get-togethers several times a year for our volunteer corps such as breakfasts, cocktail parties, and wine-tastings. Our volunteers are also invited to attend some of our cultural day trips as well.
