Featured Volunteer Opportunities

Project Homeless Connect

A free resource fair for homeless and at-risk individuals and families to access a wide array of services. Volunteers are paired one-on-one with individuals to guide them through the event.

Turkey Trot

Give back to the community on Thanksgiving day! Our annual 4-mile run/walk has become a Colorado Thanksgiving tradition for many, and our volunteers help make this event possible.

Children's Holiday Party

Bring the spirit of the holidays to families and neighbors in our community. Whether it's face painting, reading stories, or helping families find gifts, you're sure to leave filled with joy and gratitude.

Read With Me

Read With Me brings together volunteers and students from second- and third-grade classes in the area to read one-on-one, once a week, each week during the school year.
