Welcome to Mid-Missouri Volunteers!

As Central Missouri Community Action prepares to launch its Volunter Program with a freshly developed website, a centralized and streamlined volunteer intake process, and new, exciting volunteer opportunities at every corner, I'd like to welcome you to another part of the Program: CMCA's Volunteer Blog.

We will use this blog to post updates about upcoming volunteer opportunities, on-going volunteer projects, community successes, and events. This blog will also serve as an excellent place to share stories from the field of volunteerism in Central Missouri and to connect volunteers (and potential volunteers) with resources, locally and nationally.

CMCA is an organization dedicated towards ensuring that all individuals and families have their needs met and have access to lifelong learning opportunities and that communities are able to enhance their community and economic assets. At the core of this is the committment to building relationships across race and class lines, an intrinsic part of of CMCA's committment to empowering individuals and families to achieve self-reliance. One of CMCA's Strategic Committments is to recognize volunteers as the Agency's most valuable resource. Volunteers are the life-blood, the very essense of community action and social justice.

In short, we couldn't do what we're doing without the unending energy, creativity, and committment of volunteers across Central Missouri.

On behalf of Central Missouri Community Action, thank you and welcome to CMCA's Mid-Missouri Volunteers blog.
