Volunteer Opportunities

​MCIGS is currently looking for members who would like to share their skills and talents with others in the organization.  Some of these opportunities do not require that you live locally, or make a long-term time commitment. ​
Below is a list of volunteer opportunities we currently have available.  We hope you’ll take a few minutes to read the descriptions and decide how you would like to help.   If you'd like to become a volunteer or need further information please contact Susan Durbin our Volunteer Coordinator at susan.durbin@mcigs.org
