VOLUNTEER at South County Outreach(SCO)
Apply Here: Application

At SCO we pride ourselves on a cadre of over 150 caring and compassionate volunteers. It is through their commitment and generosity that we are able to positively impact the lives of hundreds of families each month.

In 2007, SCO volunteers logged over 28,000 volunteer hours! “I volunteer at SCO because I feel what I do there is really important. Sure, I do different things, and some aren’t that earth shattering, but whatever I do, I get the feeling that it is important. Sometimes I see people come in the front door and they may be near to tears. But when they leave, more often they have a smile, or don’t seem so beat down. That is why I like working there.”—SCO Volunteer
