Volunteer Service Membership Credit — $25 / 2 Hours

MDSA families may reduce their membership cost by contributing approved volunteer service to our village.

🤎 2 approved volunteer hours = $25 in membership credit

Volunteer opportunities may include supporting MDSA events, classroom or program setup, administrative projects, community outreach, facility organization, family activities, media support, or other approved MDSA needs.

How it works:
Volunteer service must be coordinated or approved by MDSA and documented to receive membership credit. Each completed 2-hour service block earns a $25 credit toward your 2026–2027 MDSA Membership.

Volunteer credits have no cash value and apply only toward eligible MDSA membership fees. Additional volunteer hours may be completed when approved opportunities are available.
