Volunteers are the backbone of the PACC.

PACC is an entirely volunteer-run organization. PACC’s work is done through its Executive and other volunteers — whose expertise and efforts are essential for PACC’s existence.

A range of volunteer opportunities is available to let you hone your skills, and put your unique skills and interests to work. Choose from fundraising, outreach, events, or identifying and approaching potential corporate sponsors.
