Volunteer Opportunities in the Bay Area and Beyond

VolunteerMatch and Trust in Education believe everyone should have an opportunity to make a difference. For many, helping others is the most rewarding work they do.  As the web’s largest volunteer engagement network, serving over 100,000 nonprofits, 150 network partners and 13 million annual visitors, VolunteerMatch makes it easy for good people and good causes to connect.

Tens of thousands of opportunities are available through Volunteer Match’s online network every day. Even if you already volunteer, chances are you’ll find opportunities that you didn’t know existed. Want to feed the hungry? Tutor children? Deliver medicine to seniors? With the help of VolunteerMatch, we can help you find a great place to volunteer!

Trust in Education is particularly interested in helping families find volunteer opportunities for their families and children. We have therefore made it easy for families to do a limited search based upon age and location. We’ve also created a list of volunteer opportunities in the bay area recommended by others and opportunities not listed on VolunteerMatch. Finally, we have a list of family volunteer vacations, know as Voluntourism.
