National Volunteer Week 2017

National Volunteer Week – April 23-29, 2017 #NVW2017

How does a non profit like Ausome run? On volunteer power. Without volunteers, we wouldn’t exist. It’s that simple.

This week, in celebration of National Volunteer Week, we will make an extra effort to recognize our volunteers. It’s our hope that in the process, you might be inspired to become a volunteer too.
