Choosing to volunteer for our mission or one of our causes that you feel passionate about can increase the chances that you enjoy the opportunity. Take time to determine what you really care about before beginning a volunteer. 

Our volunteer opportunities do require certain skills but we are open to non-skill volunteers. As nonprofits we train you on the basics, especially if it’s a long-term volunteer role.

Identify how many hours and days a week or month you can commit yourself our mission. Being realistic about your availability can ensure you don’t overcommit yourself when volunteering.

Before applying for a volunteer position, ensure that you know all of the details. Learn about the our mission, the level of commitment needed and any required training. 

After applying for a volunteer position, follow up in couple of days later if you haven’t heard back from us. Following up ensures your volunteer application is received and conveys your interest in the opportunity.

Treat your volunteer commitment just as you would a paying job. Show up on time, deliver on your commitments last minute and be professional while performing volunteer work. We rely on volunteers for many of our duties, so being reliable and professional makes a positive impact.
