Championing Volunteerism


Are you a nonprofit with a great idea for a volunteer project or are you looking to volunteer but don’t know where to start? We’re here to help you!

In the spirit of our newest initiative, JOIN, we want to provide you with access to one of the many benefits of volunteering. Research has shown that volunteers live longer, their mental and physical health improves, and stress is reduced. Volunteers become more connected to their local community, gain valuable skills and most importantly you have an opportunity to connect with others increasing your social network.  We can connect you to the right volunteer opportunity through our partnerships with nonprofits serving various community needs.

We can help curate unique volunteer experiences and opportunities with one of our many partners or if you’re a nonprofit in need of volunteers to take a few projects off your “to-do” list, we’d love to hear from you.
