CALL thrives on volunteers who make a difference by sharing their experiences, interests, hobbies, skills and talents. Every volunteer has a story that makes the programs offered by CALL diverse, educational, interesting and fun, enriching people’s lives. There are endless possibilities as a volunteer with CALL and you are invited to bring good things to other members by contributing one time, on a short term or ongoing basis. This is your opportunity to engage in meaningful activity while pursuing life long learning.
