Volunteer Continuum – Examples

The volunteer experience can be a one-time occurrence or a longer-term commitment. The organization determines their need for volunteers and invites interested individuals to help out. Most organizations welcome volunteers and CPAs may be offered financial and governance types roles where their skill sets can be put to great use.
