Days of Service
Volunteers can participate in our annual service days, which include Make A Difference Day, Global Youth Service Day, National Volunteer Month and many other Days of Service.
Youth and Family Volunteerism
Support is offered to students, teachers and administrators who would like to integrate service into the K-12 learning curriculum, particularly during our annual Days of Service. Junior high and high school students are welcome to join our Student Community Involvement Team or participate in our annual Alternative Spring Break event. A Family Volunteering Guide is available for families who want to volunteer with young children.

Companies are provided with the tools necessary to involve their employees in the community, the skills to measure that involvement and the opportunity to network with other like-minded organizations.
