Volunteers
There are many different ways to be involved at TVUUC, and one of the best and easiest ways to meet people and experience true connection is by finding a volunteer role that “fills your cup” or a program that “lights you up.” Whether it is a one-time thing or an ongoing opportunity, there are many ways to engage in community that will fit your lifestyle, skills and interests. Some ways to get involved are listed below, but this is just a sampling! To find out more about our programs or get involved, click here to drop us a note. You may also complete a Let’s Connect Interest Survey found HERE. Someone from the Let’s Connect team will work to connect you with the programs and events that fit your needs and availability.
