Looking to volunteer?… here is a great place to start.
Greetings from Prince of Peace Center
"..burst into bloom, and rejoice with gladness and shouts of joy." Isaiah 35:2
As we start to enjoy summer gatherings and events, we're grateful to enjoy family & friend time and are getting ready to celebrate fathers, grandfathers, uncles and bonus dads among others on Father's Day!. We at Prince of Peace Center recognize the importance of fathers as we get ready to announce new growth in our Q Academy male youth mentoring program - working with young men to help prepare them to be productive adults, as well as - one day - successful fathers. And look for more volunteer opportunities this summer as we get set up at a variety of events throughout the community. Your donation of time, treasure and talent is helping us impact the lives of the people we serve and the communities they live in and makes a difference in our corner of the world!
As we continue to work to help those in need in our community, we are reaching out to ask for your assistance with some volunteer opportunities. Just email us at [email protected] or call and ask for Sherris at 724-346-5777, Ext. 110 with any shift preferences below so we can get you scheduled.
