GCB is here to help people with mental illness live productive and fulfilling lives. Would you like to be a part of our work? Are you looking for a way to give your time and talents? We have many opportunities available for you whether you volunteer for an hour or so, or make a commitment over several months. There are a variety of ways to get involved, and any needed training will be provided. We’ll help you find the right fit to put your special talents to work for the good of others in our community.
