Q: How does Single Volunteers work for me and the community?

A: The concept behind Single Volunteers is simple. Find projects with nonprofit organizations where SVBC volunteers can help--jobs from answering phones for telethons to building houses to staffing blood drives or stuffing envelopes. Staff and project leaders compile a team who get together in a productive, positive environment and get the job done and done wonderfully well.

Q: Do you collect any membership dues?

A: Right now we don't. But it might become necessary in the future to collect a small amount.

Q: I have a very busy schedule. How much volunteer work do you expect me to do?

A: We have very different kinds of projects. There is something for everybody. Usually, you only need to sign up for a couple of hours at a time. But if you sign up, we ask you to stay commited to the schedule because the project leader and the organization are counting on you.

Q: I may not be able to come to every meeting; how will I learn about possible projects?

A: Check out this website; all volunteer projects will be updated weekly. However, attending the meetings is a good way to get to know other people and to learn more about the projects. The project leaders will always be happy to answer all your questions.
