Big Brothers Big Sisters of America

Special Olympics
Volunteer as a coach, official, event staffer, or Unified partner who plays alongside athletes with intellectual disabilities. Short-term and long-term options through your local program.
Habitat for Humanity
Spend a week of spring, summer, or fall break building homes with a local Habitat. Apply as a group — the team leader submits one form. Volunteers must be 18+. Groups cover travel, lodging, and food, and some affiliates charge a per-person fee.
Habitat for Humanity
Student-run high school and college chapters partner with local Habitat affiliates to build homes and run awareness events.
Junior Achievement USA
Pair with a classroom teacher to connect lessons to real careers, host a job shadow, or guide students through JA's simulated city where they make financial decisions. Enter your ZIP code to find local openings.
Feeding America
Sort and pack donations, help families shop at a pantry, deliver meals, or serve at a community meal. Find a food bank in the Feeding America network near you; most post volunteer shifts on their own sites.
