The answer is simple: Anything that you would like to do to help!
At MainStreet there are volunteer opportunities that last one hour to committees you can work with for years and they cover a wide range of opportunities.
Here are some examples of the type of duties offered by each MainStreet volunteer committee:

Anything you can do is important to the continuing success of the organization. The opportunities are endless! The best way to find something that works for you is to talk to a volunteer coordinator, member of the Board or a member of staff. After just a few minutes, we’ll think of something – trust us! Call the MainStreet office at (847) 680-0336. Please remember that we appreciate your volunteer time, great and small!
