Volunteer Center of New Trier Township Charity Profile
The Volunteer Center was conceived in 1960 as a collaborative project between the North Shore Senior Center and New Trier High School. Retirees were paired with students who needed tutoring. As the program grew, other schools in the township sought volunteers for tutoring as well as curriculum enhancement and career discussions. The program became known as The Volunteer Talent Pool. The volunteer base spread to people of all ages who wanted to share their skills with others.
Soon not-for-profit agencies began to express a need for volunteers, and The Volunteer Talent Pool started referring people to do social service work. In 1995, the name was changed to The Volunteer Center to encourage people to help, regardless of their abilities or talents. The change has been successful. We now register over 3,500 people annually who serve approximately 15,000 individuals in need. The Mission of The Volunteer Center is to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve by promoting volunteerism and by engaging people in meaningful volunteer service.
