PRLI is excited to be hosting two volunteer orientations! The orientations are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 9th with a repeat session scheduled for 10 a.m. on Friday May 10th. Both sessions will be at the Gilford Community Church Fellowship Hall.
“We are running 20 retreats this year that will serve over 250 veterans, and in some cases, their spouses, caregivers and their children and this is almost twice what we did in 2018”, says founder and PRLI Board of Directors president, Kurt Webber. “With this kind of growth, we need additional volunteers to assist our primarily volunteer organization.”
The orientations are meant to introduce individuals to Camp Resilience and provide an opportunity for them to see how their skills and life experiences may assist us in our mission of helping veterans cope with the visible and invisible wounds of war. Attendance at the orientation session is not a commitment on the part of the potential volunteer, though a volunteer application may be filled out if anyone is interested.
The orientation sessions will last about an hour with ample time after for audience Q & A. Light refreshments will be provided. If you would like more information about the orientation sessions please contact Alyssa Tetreault Mosher, Program Coordinator, at (978) 219-4003.

Volunteer Testimonials
Meeting and spending time with these amazing veterans has been humbling and rewarding. They have been so appreciative of the retreats and of the people who have come to help out. People grow close through sharing their experiences and the activities and It is sad when the time is quickly over. I’ve loved seeing some return for another retreat! This is such an important, worthwhile, appreciated and rewarding volunteer opportunity! |
I've volunteered for many organizations, but this is by far the best experience I've had. Giving my time to men and women who have given us all so much is an honor and privilege. The instant bond and respect among the Veterans at every retreat is amazing. PRLI is such a positive experience for them and for me. I love being part of the sports activities and just getting an opportunity to talk with the Veterans, they're always so positive and appreciative of this experience. |
