Make a difference and join 60 million Americans by becoming a volunteer!  At Esperanza, whether it’s a one-time project or a weekly commitment, each volunteer directly impacts the lives of our program participants.  The Helping Hand Volunteer Program’s mission is to enhance the services provided by Esperanza Community Services to individuals with disabilities.  Our volunteer program offers opportunities to individuals, corporations and businesses, and groups to get involved.
