Volunteers are the Power of CASSS

Volunteer opportunities with CASSS range from short-term volunteer projects to committees, task forces, and board service. With every new volunteer, CASSS grows more energized, more diverse and inclusive, and better equipped to reach our mission.

Volunteer opportunities become available every quarter. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, make sure to check the list below every few months.
