Community: Volunteering


Volunteering can be very important. It can give a person a way to contribute even when they cannot work. It can also give a person contact with other organizations that may become useful to them.

Join the New Horizons Un-Limited Volunteer Network!!! Right here at New Horizons Un-Limited we have several ways that you can volunteer at our office or from your home through our website. When you join the NHU Volunteer Network, you can receive our NHU Volunteer Network newsletter. We would love to hear from you!
