SOOP gives adults seasoned by life a chance to give something back, to use their gifts to help others, to make a difference in another's life. Even when retired from daily responsibilities, most still want to make a useful contribution to our world. SOOP volunteers contribute a wealth of life skills and experience. Skills such as teaching, building, cleaning, child care, maintenance and repair, office work, technical knowledge, administration and gardening are useful in many situations. Getting Started Volunteer completes personnel form and chooses possible locations.
SOOP administrator contacts site coordinators to match volunteer's gifts to location's needs.

SOOP brings a rich flavor from its three sponsoring organizations. For more information about SOOP, contact one of the persons listed here to register your interest.
