How To Volunteer
Thank you for being willing to volunteer your time and talents to strengthen your community! Volunteering is a great way to make new friends, learn new skills, and share your talents. Here are some ways you can volunteer:
Episodic Volunteering:
Short term, project, or event volunteering. This is a great way to volunteer if you don't have enough time to commit to a recurring volunteer opportunity or if you want to be involved with a specific event. Each organization is different, but be prepared to submit a volunteer application and to likely attend a volunteer orientation.
Formal/Recurring Volunteering:
If you're looking for a long-term opportunity, this is for you! Formal volunteers typically set up a regular schedule, have a volunteer manager, and a set role within an organization. This is also a great way to be a skills-based volunteer if you want to share specific talents you have such as photography, web design, etc. Search for opportunities from one of the sites listed below, or reach out directly to an organization.
Corporate Volunteering:
Does your employer have a volunteer program? Corporate volunteering provides companies with the opportunity to develop staff skills, build teams and give back to the community. Interested in developing a corporate volunteer program? Check back soon for more resources!
Virtual Volunteering:
Sometimes called micro volunteering or crowdsourcing, virtual volunteering is service done remotely. Some examples of virtual volunteering include translating documents, captioning videos, designing graphics, or editing content. You can search for a virtual volunteering from one of the sites listed below, but if you do not find one, you can reach out to an organization directly.
