The first step to volunteer with New Friends New Life is to visit on Wednesday Night and get the feel of the organization and those we serve. At this visit you can talk with staff, protégés and other volunteers about the program. Seeing the program in action often gives volunteers a better idea of what New Friends New Life is about and of where they want to serve.
