Types of Volunteers

Long-Term Volunteers:
Long-term volunteers can make a deeper impact by serving on one of our committees. As a committee member, you’ll have the chance to take on more responsibility, help guide the organization’s direction, and contribute to the planning and execution of key initiatives. Committee roles are a great way to build leadership skills and work closely with our team to create lasting change.

Committees may include:

• Community Outreach

• Fundraising and Events

• Mental Health and Social Services

• Advocacy and Legal Support

Short-Term Volunteers:
If you’re looking to help out for specific events or projects, short-term volunteer opportunities are a great way to get involved without a long-term commitment. These opportunities allow you to contribute your time and skills at one-time events such as community fairs, educational workshops, or fundraising drives.

Short-term volunteer roles might include:

• Event setup and support

• Assisting with registration at workshops and community events

• Distributing resources to immigrants

• Event promotion and outreach
