Volunteers Are Needed

Too often we under-estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. We are in need of a network of volunteers to be utilized for focus groups, committees, panels and expertise in telling their recovery stories and other endeavors as needed.

Consumer volunteers are needed to join the Maryland Consumer Volunteer Network, established within the Office of Consumer Affairs. If you are a board member, WRAP facilitator or volunteer in your community please join to be recognized for your tireless work in your organizations and to network
with other volunteers on a regular basis to become a part of the recovery efforts in Maryland. Out of this outreach we may move toward training, funding and/or employment as we progress in unison.
