Angel of Light Volunteer Program

Volunteers bring in a wealth of experiences, ideas and energy to our programs.  We believe that volunteers of every background and experience can contribute to the development of existing programs and new programs.

We encourage you to touch the life of a child, a family, or a youth in a positive sense, whether your schedule allows for a weekly commitment  or just one-time event.  We welcome any unique projects or ideas you may suggest and want to develop at San Martin de Porres Center.

Volunteer Committees organize San Martin fundraising and educational forums.  Committee members collaborate to plan entire events:  choosing themes, projecting budgets, soliciting donors, designing publicity campaigns, and handling public  relations.

Volunteers sit on Advisory Councils to discuss issues and challenges affecting several programs.  Based on knowledge and familiarity of the program, volunteers are encouraged to share their insights at the Council meetings held throughout the year.
