Volunteering

Volunteers perform valuable work with The VISIONS Network. Give us a call to arrange a time when you can meet some of the people receiving services. And, plan to talk with our director to determine where you are most comfortable and where your talents may best be used. Volunteers are required to pass both a physical exam and a TB test, and to participate in training provided by the Illinois Department of Human Services. A reference/criminal background check is done for all potential volunteers, and information received is held in strict confidence. Volunteers are supervised by a VISIONS Network staff member.
