Rounded Rectangle: 'The subway freaked me out; so many people, so pushy and scary. I had to get off. I was so scared I'd get lost. Thank god for Span; I'd have been Charlie on the MTA.'       Joanne (3 years in, 4 months out)

Span relies on volunteers like you to connect our clients to the resources they need.  Whether your interests are in working directly with clients, providing administrative or IT support, or joining our board, Span needs your talents!
