Walla Walla College Volunteers Make the Difference

“The people who can always find time for progress, who can always find time to better their community, or can find time to hold out a helping hand, are the most valuable people of all.”

We value our volunteers VERY MUCH. More than 400 of these special people contributed 6,700 hours of work last year to WWC. Without them, many of our activities for students and alumni just wouldn't happen. See the names of all our volunteers.

Interested in becoming one of those special WWC volunteers? I am Evelyn Bergman, Director of Volunteer Services, and I would welcome hearing from you. Most of our volunteer projects are on the campus although there are also occasional programs outside to the Walla Walla/College Place area where help is needed. See the list below for some of the programs volunteers assist with.

It has been said that “Thank You” is the coin of payment for that which cannot be bought and we do often say it with real meaning! If you would like to receive some of that special “coin” please contact me at (509) 522-2053 or by e-mail at bergman@wwcis.com.
