Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry.

Points of Light Foundation

The Points of Light Foundation & Volunteer Center National Network engages and mobilizes millions of volunteers who are helping to solve serious social problems in thousands of communities. Through a variety of programs and services, the Foundation encourages people from all walks of life — businesses, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, low-income communities, families, youth, and older adults — to volunteer.

Boys & Girls Club

Bill Cosby. Alex Rodriguez. Brad Pitt. Michael Jordan. President Clinton. Denzel Washington. What do all of these people have in common? They are all alumni of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun.

Big Brothers Big Sisters

Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. They help children reach their potential through professionally supported one-to-one relationships with proven results. You can get involved today by volunteering or by making a donation. Just 4 hours a month can change a young person's life.

YMCA

As a YMCA volunteer, you can lead an exercise class, read to a preschool class, coach a basketball team, cook for a bake sale, design a program brochure, serve as a role model for young people, help out in the office or be part of a committee working on a neighborhood problem. No matter how you help, you'll make a big difference as you work with others to create a feeling of connectedness in your community.

Red Cross

Each year over one million Americans serve as Red Cross volunteers serving local community needs — helping people in emergencies, providing half the nation's blood supply, teaching first aid and CPR courses, delivering emergency messages to members of the military, organizing programs for the elderly, for the youth and more. The American Red Cross delivers services in your community through the support of people just like you giving their time.
