California Volunteer Matching Network

Overview

All Californians have something they care about – kids, seniors, the environment, family, the homeless, the arts, animals, or other community issues. All Californians need is a way to find out how they can help.

The California Volunteer Matching Network connects Californians like you to volunteer opportunities in their own communities through a dynamic, simple-to-use online volunteer search engine, making it easy for you to take action and support the causes you care about.

Nonprofits and public agencies that need volunteers can list their volunteer opportunities with CaliforniaVolunteers' local partners and take advantage of statewide and local marketing efforts.

Looking for a Great Volunteer Opportunity

Want to be part of a beach clean-up crew in Santa Cruz? Befriend lonely seniors in LA? Tutor kids in Sacramento? Help your community prepare for times of disaster in the Bay Area? You choose the issue, you name the location. You can volunteer one time, every month or every day.

Search the CaliforniaVolunteers.org database of more than 40,000 volunteer opportunities, easily zeroing in on opportunities in your own community that align with your interests and availability.

Or, if you need a bit of guidance to find your perfect volunteer opportunity, contact one of our local partners.
