It's National Volunteer Week! 🎉 Times Change is one of many non-profit agencies that would not be able to support their community in the way they do if it weren't for the generosity of volunteers. We would like to sincerely thank those who have and continue to generously offer us their time and energy. Your hard work and dedication help us reach as many women as possible in their pursuit of employment. Meet Lea, a volunteer who began as a practicum student at Times Change. A big thank you to Lea and all of our other fantastic volunteers! For those who aren't currently volunteering, but would like to get started with us, please visit our website at 🔗 : https://buff.ly/3xAB3EL
