Volunteers:
  InnerRoads would not have become a successful program if it were not for the extraordinary help of members of the Missoula community and beyond. Volunteers have given several thousand hours doing a wide range of activities: mentoring youth, serving on our Assistance Board, fundraising, providing therapeutic services, helping with program development, and logistics.  Professional and non-professionals alike have contributed significantly.
