Volunteer with Us!
The CHTA runs on volunteer hours! We have a working Board who contribute up to 160 hours per month to steer the organization and contribute to the CHTA’s mission. Additionally we have equally important committee members who do smaller projects and support the Board. Every volunteer brings something different to the team, new life experiences and perspectives can influence the direction a project takes, we value members from all backgrounds.
