At Lifeline Community Services we give youth and families the tools they need to solve their own problems and become self-reliant. We couldn't do that without the partnering with organizations like yours. Please consider joining us at any of the upcoming or regularly scheduled group volunteer opportunities. Depending on the project or event, we can accommodate small groups of 4 or as large as 20. We work with church groups, student groups, corporate groups, and families. Contact us at volunteer@nclifeline.org for inquiries.
