Volunteer | Spouses & Partners

Volunteering with MS&PC has been a great way to keep my skills updated and add experience to my résumé… Volunteering fills my life with quality time.

Why volunteer?

Never had the time or opportunity to volunteer before? Now could be your chance to try it out! Volunteering is a great way to connect with the community, meet new people, and gain new knowledge and experience. Many of our activities are member-led, so anyone can find a way to get involved and help shape what we do.
