General Volunteers
Anyone interested in volunteering can sign up for an account and begin browsing the different volunteer opportunities we offer.
When you first sign up for an account, you will only have access to the beginner-level opportunities. This means that you will not be able to see the more advanced opportunities we offer.
If you are interested in unlocking the advanced opportunities, you will first have to attend one of our Volunteer Orientations. In these orientations, we go over the guidelines, expectations, and roles of a volunteer to better prepare you for our program. Completing this orientation will grant you access to sign up for new and exciting opportunities!
Group Volunteering
