A program of the Volunteer Action Center


What is family volunteering?

When one or more members of a family volunteer together. We define a family as two or more people that "consider" themselves related. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, spouses, special family friends, sorority sisters, office staff, etc...all qualify as "Family" for the purpose of this program. Everyone can participate!

What types of volunteering are available for my family?

All types! Your family could do yard work for an older person in the community or prepare and serve meals. Your Family could be involved in providing leadership and input to the Family Matters program. The sky's the limit for volunteer opportunities! Your family will be matched up to volunteer opportunities based on your interests and the level of involvement you are interested in, as well as the family make-up.

Why should my family get involved?

When your family joins with other families and you each bring your own unique gifts, then you become a powerful force that can strengthen and heal our nation. Your family can make a difference!
