Volunteer Spotlight
IVC Volunteer Spotlight: Michael McGunnigle and Andra Sawyer. “IVC make it easy to volunteer.” Michael and Andra were drawn to IVC’s flexible volunteer model, which is low commitment/high reward. They also find that engaging with care receivers across the island breaks down assumptions about Bainbridge Island’s general population.
