Each volunteer is staffing a four hour shift per month at the Center on Fridays or Saturdays.

 “It was so inspiring to witness the depth of people’s commitment to their town, the environment, and a better future.  This group is bursting with great ideas, and the energy and drive to fulfill them.  It’s an honor to be a part of it.” ~Kerry Walsh, Board Member Sustainable Fairfax
