With some research and your curiosity, you can help your neighbors quickly find nearby nonprofits, mutual aid groups, service clubs and more – making it simpler than ever for everyone to make a local impact.

Community Compass contributors have already helped us identify over 3,600 ways to volunteer in more than 380 communities in the US!

What You'll Do:

Be a Contributor: Conduct quick, simple online research to identify active service clubs, mutual aid groups, and upcoming volunteer events in your community.

Be a Fact Checker: Enhance your community's page on Ways to Connect by ensuring the information is current, accurate, and inviting for potential volunteers.

Looking for volunteers for the LNC Community Resource Event!!!

Duties include: Front desk support, including checking in vendors and directing them to their assigned locations. Assist vendors with setup as needed and help with cleanup after the event.  

Be the face of Volunteers of America Western Washington!!! The Street Team!!

We're building a small, tight-knit crew of community ambassadors to represent VOAWW at local events across the area — tabling, sharing our story, and connecting people to the work that changes lives every day.

You'll work in pairs, so you'll always have a teammate — but we need folks who show up, take this role seriously, and understand that every interaction at that table reflects directly on our organization and the people we serve.

What we're looking for:

Outgoing and personable. You enjoy talking to strangers, starting conversations, and leaving people with a smile.

Knowledgeable about VOAWW's mission. We’ll give you the information and materials to prepare you, but we’ll expect that you can speak to it confidently and authentically.

Dependable and trustworthy. When you commit to an event, people are counting on you — your teammate, the organization, and the community.

Weekend availability. Most community events happen on Saturdays and Sundays.

Own transportation. Events are spread across the county — you'll need reliable transportation to get there and back.

Able to carry up to 25 lbs. Tabling means carrying supplies — banners, materials, tables, donations. Light lifting is part of the gig.

What you get out of it:

You’ll get to attend these events and make great community connections. The satisfaction of putting good into the world. A solid group of like-minded volunteers to work alongside. And the knowledge that you're helping VOAWW do what it does best — showing up for people when they need it most.

If you are interested, please respond- we will be setting up an orientation this month. :)

Every day, the American Red Cross sees the heartbreak of people trying to cope with more intense storms, heavier rainfall, higher temperatures, stronger hurricanes and more devastating wildfires.

As more people rely on the Red Cross for help, the need for compassionate volunteers has never been greater. Volunteers help comfort and support people who are forced from their homes due to fires, storms and other emergencies, so they don’t have to face tough times alone. Join us and turn your compassion into action by becoming a volunteer today. We are actively recruiting for these critical volunteer roles:

Shelter Support Team: During large disasters, you can support the day-to-day activities within a shelter which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information or other areas within a shelter. Free online training will be provided. If the need arises, volunteers are asked to commit to multiple local shifts of 4-12 hours each. For those able to travel outside of their local area, a commitment of at least 14 consecutive days, working 8- or 12-hour shifts is required.
