Volunteer

AWARE’s volunteers are priceless! From short-term, project-based activities to longer-term obligations, volunteers and interns provide thousands of hours each year towards our mission related goals. Here are just a few ways to help. Volunteers or interns who wish to work with those we serve are pre-screened and required to attend a 40-hour immersion training. For more information, contact Katherine Wrozek at (517) 783-1638, ext. 143 or email ktwrozek@awareshelter.org.
