There are many organizations in DC doing important work to serve the needs of our city. The following are some of the groups with whom we have ongoing relationships. (Note: If you volunteer with a group not listed here, please be sure to tell us about your experience so we can add them to our listing!)
In the following links, you will find all the necessary information to schedule a time to volunteer with these groups. When you find an opportunity that sounds interesting, use the contact information to contact them directly so that you can tailor the opportunity to the needs of your group.

Scheduling. Most groups have scheduled volunteering hours, usually early in the day. These spots can fill up quickly so it’s a good idea to make arrangements as early as possible. Also, keep in mind that some agencies have a minimum or maximum number of volunteers that they can accept at any one time.
Dress. Be sure you know what the clothing requirements are! Many groups provide a detailed list, and even reject volunteers who are not dressed to their specifications. A good standard to go by is long pants, closed-toe shoes, and no tank tops.
