Summer time offers many great opportunities to volunteer your time and skills to some of the many non-profit organizations in and around Marion. 
Working With Children
- Big Brothers-Big Sisters is always looking for ‘Bigs’, volunteers to supervise events and people to organize activities.
- If you are looking for something that you know will be short-term, local churches are always in need of help during Bible School. Each church needs different things from their volunteers so just call your favorite house of worship for the details and how you can be of assistance.
- The local YMCA needs coaches and instructors for their programs, some require some training such as CPR certification but that training is invaluable.
Helping The Elderly
- Marion Area Concil on Aging likes to plan activities and trips for it’s members, some of which require an extra hand or two(that’s where you come in).
People Helping People
- Our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity is in dire need of people willing and able to lend them a hand building homes, fix lunches for workers and do office work. No matter your skills or the amount of time you have to give, Habitat has a task for you. (740)383-2007
