Volunteering
Meeting people is key to anyone successfully settling into a new community and volunteering is a terrific way to do that. Volunteers are the heart of the many activities and festivals across the Island. Roll up your sleeves and peel some potatoes or help set the stage for some world-class music. This is the best way to quickly become involved in your new community.
