About Community Volunteer Connections

We support local nonprofits, charities and grassroots groups in finding volunteers, provide resources that strengthen volunteer engagement, and advocate for the nonprofit sector in our community. We also run our own programs, including one that helps adults with intellectual disabilities find volunteer placements.
