VOLUNTEER WITH VCIC
The Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities could not reach schools, businesses, and communities across Virginia without the dedicated support of volunteers. At VCIC, volunteers help deliver youth and adult programs, convene special events and raise funds, and provide administrative support in our office.
