Opportunities
Programs at Roberti Community House are only successful with the help of many generous volunteers. Help foster our sense of community in Lake County by empowering those living in this distressed area. By offering your time at RCH, you will have the opportunity to see the immediate impact of your contributions, being connected with those in need. You will also make connections with other like-minded people, our over 360 dedicated volunteers!
