Each year over 100 OAR volunteers serve our community.  These dedicated and highly trained citizens help to implement and sustain OAR programs.  Volunteers teach, provide one-to-one mentoring, counsel family members in crisis, assist with client services in the main office and help guide OAR's mission as members of the Board of Directors.  As representatives of the community they are vocal advocates for OAR's mission.  For more information about volunteering, please send an email to: info@oarnova.org or call (703) 246-3033.
