TASK Volunteers

Individuals from all walks of life, locations, and religious beliefs volunteer their time to TASK. Our corps of volunteers includes the following:

• Individuals and people in groups: faith–based groups, social groups, and corporations
• Students from local schools and colleges
• Workers from the Community Work Experience Program. In order to receive a monthly public assistance payment, each participant must complete 30 hours of work–related activity per week.
• Workers who are fulfilling their community service obligations for the Mercer County or Trenton court system.
• Patrons who work at TASK for the satisfaction and sense of community the work provides, and as a way of giving back

Bonner/AmeriCorps Program

In addition to the paid staff, community service workers, and dedicated volunteers, several members of the New Jersey Bonner Leaders Program currently are serving at TASK.

The Bonner Leaders Program is run by the Bonner Foundation of Princeton, NJ, and is funded by the New Jersey State Commission’s AmeriCorps Program. It seeks a high degree of cooperation between area colleges and community partners. Each campus has a core group of part–time program members who commit to completing the required hours of community service during their term, and each community partner has one full–time member.
