Volunteer Information
The ICO program is made possible by its volunteers who give generously of their time and skills, and by the donations of money and equipment from its supporters.
Meetings
Our meetings play an important role in the success of our program. It is your opportunity to network and bond with your team members and other volunteers. It is also the best way to stay in touch with what is happening, how it is happening, and to learn about other ways to get involved. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Meetup group to learn more about our current activities.
