Volunteer to Make a Difference

HOC offers many opportunities for individuals who would like to volunteer to help make a difference in the Montgomery County community. Adult volunteers’ time, energy and expertise help create impactful programming for our residents. Youth volunteers, in addition to gaining valuable life experience, also are eligible to earn Student Service Learning hours by volunteering with HOC Resident Services.
