How to Get Started
Click on the Community Connect logo at the bottom of this page or click here.
How to find Volunteer Opportunities
The first choice is Give Help. Volunteers will be able to enter the kind of services that they would like to provide (office, mentor, web design) or the population they would like to work with (children, adults, animals). The agencies which need these services will be displayed. Volunteers can review the options and directly contact the organization where they might like to volunteer.
How to find Help for Yourself or Someone Else
The second option is Get Help. This is the information and referral query. The public can search for needed services (food, housing, day care, recreational activities, etc.).
How to Receive Updates about new Volunteer Opportunities
The third option is Login. This can be used by volunteers (not agencies) who have already registered. If volunteers formally Login, they will be given access to additional options.
How to Learn More
You can examine the information on the web site by clicking Opportunities, Programs, and Agencies under Local Statistics. This same information (and more) is available at the top of the white portion of the Welcome Page.
