Volunteer: Community Resource Volunteer

About the Opportunity

We’re looking for volunteers who care about helping people stay supported beyond the classroom or program space. This role helps connect participants to helpful community resources—like transportation, housing support, healthcare, or benefits—so they can continue making progress in their lives.

If you’re compassionate, organized, and enjoy helping people navigate support systems, this is a meaningful way to contribute.

How You Can Help:

Help gather and organize information about local community resources

Share resource information with participants when requested

Assist with connecting participants to partner organizations

Help check in with participants after programs to see if supports were helpful

Keep simple notes so staff know which resources are being used

You’ll always have guidance from staff and won’t be expected to provide case management or counseling.

This opportunity is great for volunteers who:

Are empathetic and good listeners

Enjoy organizing information or helping people problem-solve

Have interest or experience in social services, nonprofit work, or community support

Care about long-term outcomes, not just one-day events

No formal background is required.

Time Commitment

Flexible and based on your availability

Can be short-term or ongoing

Some tasks may be done remotely

Why It Matters

Access to the right support at the right time can make all the difference. Your help reduces barriers, supports stability, and helps participants stay engaged and successful.

What Success Looks Like

People feel supported. Connections stick. Progress continues.
