WHY VOLUNTEERING MATTERS

The generous work of every volunteer has a direct and positive impact on the life of other human beings.

Many nonprofit and activist organizations rely on volunteers. But the pandemic accelerated a decline in volunteer participation and many organizations struggle to keep serving their communities. Your community needs your helping hands now more than ever!

Everyone can serve.

"Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
