Does your nonprofit have a great idea for a volunteer project or are you personally looking to volunteer but don’t know where to begin? We’re here to help!
In the spirit of our new initiative, JOIN, we want to partner with nonprofits and individuals ready to tap into civic engagement and the many benefits of volunteering. “Communities around the globe are threatened by complex and urgent challenges. At the same time, disconnection and isolation undermine efforts to rally people to help address these deep-rooted challenges. We know that volunteers are essential to meeting critical needs and that volunteering brings deep value to the individual, the communities in which the serve and our global society. Yet there are not enough people engaged.” Points of Light.
We want to change that!
Research has shown that volunteers live longer, their mental and physical health improves, and stress is reduced. And as volunteers become more connected to their local community, they also gain valuable skills and connect with others, increasing their social network. We’re ready to help curate unique volunteer experiences and opportunities for you with one of our many nonprofit partners. And if you’re a nonprofit in need of volunteers, we’ll help match you with volunteers to take a few projects off your “to-do” list.
We’d love to hear from you! Reach out to Julie Bellezza, Volunteer & Community Engagement Coordinator, at jbellezza@oceanfirstfdn.org.
