We are committed to developing opportunities for anyone who wants to be involved!
To identify the volunteer positions that might be best for you, please think about your own
skills, knowledge, and experience. It is also very important to consider the time you have to
give and the types of projects you like to do. The work of our volunteers is designed
around members’ skills and interests, the
NACS Strategic Priorities, and the
NACS College
Store Competency Model.
