Volunteer Positions

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. - Jane Goodall

Whatever you do, whatever your skills, and whatever your age, you can live your life for the glory of God. Let this inspire you to take action today.

Even the smallest act for God can make huge changes in someone's life.

St. Dominic Savio
