Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are an integral part of our organization and helps us achieve our vision and mission. There are many volunteer opportunities available, no matter what your age or ability is. We believe that everyone can give back to their community! Here are a few examples of our different volunteer needs:

EDUCATION

Compile resources and information to be shared with the community, including making flyers and infographics. Helping teach workshops on topics such as Know Your Rights education, filing for unemployment, culture & history, or even teaching skills like public speaking or computer literacy.

FUNDRAISING

We’re always looking for ways to fundraise for people’s needs and provide more services and programs! Help us increase our capacity to do this by thinking of fun, creative ways to fundraise and helping us share the great community work we do.

OUTREACH

Meet new people by promoting our programs and services to the community, including our hotline number for urgent cases. Build new relationships and partnerships with individuals and organizations such as neighborhood associations, churches, school clubs, and other places Filipinos gather.

VOLUNTEER COORDINATION

Communicate with other volunteers and spread the word about any new opportunities that come up. Help us recruit new volunteers and take part in developing the leadership skills of others!

INTAKES

Connect with community members to better understand their needs and find out how we can provide social and economic assistance. Follow up with people on a regular basis and build genuine, lasting relationships with community members. Refer people to other organizations or resources as needed.
