You don't need a background in social work — just empathy, reliability, and a willingness to learn. We provide the training and the support; you provide the heart. Volunteers help neighbors assess needs, research resources, make warm connections to agencies, and follow up until things are resolved.

Work directly with neighbors — listening, assessing needs, and connecting them to the right resources.
