Citizen involvement is a departmental cornerstone. The diverse points of view of people receiving support, their family members, friends, neighbors, professionals, and other interested community members must be reflected in our work. The perspectives of different cultural and socioeconomic groups are also key.
There are numerous ways that citizens can be involved. To become a volunteer please fill out and mail in the
application form (Word) 
. The form is also available as a
PDF document 
.
