Volunteering is one way you can get involved in the greater community and help contribute to social change. Through volunteering, you are making a larger impact in the community than you can ever imagine.
Community service happens everywhere! From soccer moms to elder care, from civic clubs to cleaning streets, we offer our services joyfully. Not sure where to start? Check out the list of ongoing opportunities and the upcoming opportunities.
Have a community service or volunteer opportunity you’d like to report? Have a question, suggestion or comment? Use our contact form to tell us about it.
What counts as volunteering?
Volunteering is freely giving of your time and energy in lieu of monetary compensation. To help clarify, a donation, i.e. giving money or items to a nonprofit organization is a great way to give back, but it doesn’t count as volunteering.
