Volunteer Connect Douglas County offers an innovative way to find volunteer opportunities in your own community. The Volunteer Connect Douglas County website portal, a county-wide community resource offered through the Partnership of Douglas County Governments (PDCG), is a one-stop shop for bringing together organizations in need of volunteers and individuals looking for ways to make meaningful contributions locally.

You can find a number of diverse opportunities to share your time and talents by clicking "I want to volunteer" at VolunteerConnectDC.org.

  • Completing one profile for all opportunities that reflect your skills and interests.

  • Finding opportunities for individuals, families, small groups, and large groups.
  • Instilling volunteerism values in children at an early age.
  • Finding reliable and timely information on volunteering opportunities.
