Volunteer Prince William
About Us
It begins with the power of one.
When we take the time to reach out, teach others, or empower someone to follow their dreams; we expose the true potential that resides in people of all abilities. Through numerous opportunities in the Prince William area, one individual can help a child learn to read, improve our environment, collect food for area food banks or provide companionship to an elder citizen. These individual efforts, over time, are what make a difference in the world. It begins with the power of one.
