Join the Volunteer Center Board of Directors and You Can Make A Difference All Year Long!

The work of the Volunteer Center would not happen if it were not for the energetic dedication of our board of directors. We’re a working Board — but while we work we have a really good time!  The board seeks to represent all villages in the New Trier Township and the N.E. Metro Chicago area, and welcomes anyone interested in improving the quality of life in the community via volunteerism.  The board is always looking for marketing, public relations, design and fundraising skills.

Our Biggest Make A Difference Day Ever!

The Volunteer Center would like to thank the volunteers and donors that helped make this year’s Make A Difference Day a smashing success even during this challenging time — with a special shout-out to our amazing partners Highcrest Middle School and Wilmette Junior High PTOs.
