Volunteer Opportunities

 

We are a very small organization and it is the support of our volunteers that makes our programming possible.  Bella Terra is very appreciative of the time and hard work our volunteers have contributed to enable us to serve our mission and our clients.  Sincere thanks to all our volunteers!
