Greater DC Cares offers all kinds of volunteer opportunities, some of which you may have never considered before:  skilled volunteering, serving as a nonprofit board member, building a library or computer lab!  We can help you find the perfect fit – one that meets your interests, skills and schedule.

To get started.  All you have to do is attend a brief orientation so we can tell you how our programs work.  Then, you’ll receive an e-mail every week that tells you about our wide range of volunteer opportunities.   It’s that easy!

Greater impact.   When we all do our part, it adds up. Together, Greater DC Cares mobilizes more than 12,000 volunteers to serve more than 500 nonprofits and schools each year, providing thousands of hours of critical services and skills. Not only do you make a huge impact by volunteering with GDCC, you also get the added benefits of: 

  • Meeting new people
  • Getting involved in issues you care about
  • Networking and strengthening your resume
  • Making a difference in countless people's lives

Greater value. Your time, energy, enthusiasm and skills are just as valuable as dollars. In turn, you deserve a volunteer experience that truly meets needs, is managed well and is valued for years to come. Our unique approach to volunteerism is based on these fundamental values.

Greater flexibility and ease. We make it easy! We’ll connect you with opportunities that work for you. You can volunteer as frequently as you’d like. We can identify projects near where you live or work. And we can help you connect with organizations that work on issues you’re passionate about.

To get started, sign up for an orientation.
