VOLUNTEER TYPE

We have two options for our volunteering program!

Official Volunteer Application:
Follow our standard volunteer process, which includes orientation, communication, and types of opportunities. This path is ideal for volunteers seeking to make a longer-term impact and build relationships with our community. Volunteers can adjust their availability status and sign up for project preference. As an official volunteer, you'll have access to staff support, training, and social events.

On-Demand Volunteer Application:
Occasionally, we receive requests for volunteers with specific backgrounds or skill sets, such as a student wanting to meet with a professional for career exploration. Join our on-demand network to be notified when a request matches your expertise or if you know someone who fits the need. This path is ideal for one-time or short-term, yet impactful, volunteering opportunities.
