We appreciate our volunteers!
However, we are always
striving to increase the number of volunteers at South Dakota ACHIEVE.
We have several
volunteer opportunities available for both long and short-term commitments.
Our main goal is to increase social activities,
friendships, personal growth and recreation for the people we serve. Remember,
you don’t have to volunteer alone. Bring along co-workers, family members or
friends. |
