Year-Round Opportunities

First Serve has established partnerships with several organizations in North Hill at which volunteer help is needed on a year-round basis. These are opportunities to engage more deeply in the community, develop relationships with our partners and residents, and be a part of the amazing diversity North Hill has to offer. Volunteers are welcome at Findley CLC, North High School, The Children’s Center @ Valley View, North Hill Community House, and Trinity Clothing Ministry.
