Volunteers are the backbone of Mizell Center. Our volunteers are dedicated, compassionate, and very much appreciated. Volunteers provide support throughout Mizell, including at Aunt Betty’s thrift shop, our front desk, special events, and within our weekday lunch service of the Nutrition program.
Our volunteers reflect the diversity of our community, having varied backgrounds, experiences, identities, and skills. As such, our staff work closely with each volunteer to provide an experience that best utilizes their time, skills, and talents.
Give the most valuable gift of all, your time. We look forward to welcoming you.
