Why Volunteer With LAPS?

LAPS has a very dedicated board of directors, members and volunteers to help raise money to help our community.  These volunteers donated over 1400 hours in 2023 to help raise fund to provide assistance to our Summit Community.  LAPS can not continue to assist our community without your help.

We have fun events, some dog friendly,  for volunteers to help with planning, volunteering  at the event or helping promote the event.
