VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

There are many ways to get involved with "Team CUC". With a small staff, most of the work done by CUC is done through volunteers--individually and in groups, committees and monitoring groups. We estimate there are over 200 volunteers actively involved in CUC work at any one time.

CUC requires that all applicants for volunteer positions provide names and contact information for 3 references. Additional safe congregations screening is required for high trust positions will be outlined in position descriptions.
