NCCS strives to enhance the quality of life by promoting and supporting volunteerism. We are conveners for the community, catalysts for social action and key local resources for volunteer involvement. We bring people and community needs together through a range of programs and services based upon community needs, and other factors.

Volunteers connect people to hope and usually start with a single act of kindness, but often lead to a lifetime of enriching experiences. Whether you have a talent for knitting hats and mittens, organizing a food drive, a desire to mentor the young or just want to give back, NCCS always has a varied list of volunteer opportunities available.

Community needs simply would not have been met without the efforts of an active, growing, and incredibly caring volunteer base. In 2007, 1,150 individuals and/or groups volunteered 45,417 hours of service to NCCS. Their gift of volunteer time saved the agency over $613,000 in salaries. This gift enabled NCCS to provide a greater depth of programs and services.

NCCS programs succeed because they are the collaborative work of caring, local citizens creating effective solutions to meet needs in their own communities. NCCS Volunteer Services believes in the value our volunteers bring to each person they assist, either directly or indirectly. Whether it is for a non-profit service agency like NCCS, a library, a school, a governmental agency, a health care institution, or an arts provider; fostering volunteerism is important to the future of our community.
