Why volunteer? Here is a great article about the benefits of volunteering.
We post volunteer opportunities as they are communicated with us. If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, here are some suggestions to help you find places needing volunteers. Please keep in mind that many have an age requirement due to the nature of the responsibilities or may require an adult to attend with you. Volunteering should align with your interests and/or personal goals.
Many organizations do not recruit or request volunteers because they have many that connect with them directly. You can contact non-profit organizations such as West Valley Community Services, American Red Cross, The Family Giving Tree, local libraries, Humane Society Silicon Valley, Loaves & Fishes, American Cancer Society, local cities, area recreation centers, senior care centers, YMCA, local religious organizations, Girls Who Code, Tech Museum, Good Karma Bikes, Children's Musical Theater, area medical facilities and many more.
