In the spirit of volunteerism and to promote service to the community, Granville County Government has launched a website to match individuals and groups with volunteer opportunities
.
Departments such as the Animal Shelter, Senior Services, the public libraries, Social Services, Veterans Services, etc. rely on contributions of time and resources from volunteers to walk dogs, deliver meals to seniors, coordinate activities or share knowledge in a classroom setting. Opportunities are also available through service on designated Boards and Committees to help provide feedback and recommendations to the Granville County Board of Commissioners.
“Many citizens within our community seek ways to “give back,” said County Manager Michael Felts about this initiative, “By establishing effective volunteer programs, the County can offer opportunities to those citizens who wish to serve the community in a positive and worthwhile manner.”
The “Granville Gives” website helps match needs such as these with people and organizations throughout the county who are willing and able to enrich the lives of our citizens through volunteer service. Those interested in volunteering can create a log-in to post skills and abilities that can be matched with needs throughout the county, or can scroll through a listing of current available opportunities. Volunteer hours can also be logged through a “volunteer snapshot” to help track hours of service.
All volunteers must acknowledge and agree to the Granville County Volunteer Policy, with some departments requiring on-site training. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have parental consent before volunteering.
