Volunteer Opportunities

The Third Street Community Center offers plenty of rewarding opportunities for individuals to truly make a difference in the lives of young children and adults as well as in our community.

Service driven and compassionate individuals that embrace the spirit of service learning are highly encouraged to be a part of our inspiring team.

Our service learning opportunities also transform the way people view professions such as the role of educators, policy makers, counselors, community organizers or health care workers by helping people view the world through a social justice lens. In many ways, individuals who serve at the Third Street Community Center gain valuable work experience and witness the impact of their service.
