Catholic Charities seeks community-oriented, enthusiastic volunteers to work with us across our various programs. We have positions appropriate for recent grads looking to gain experience, retirees who want to keep their skills sharp, stay-at-home parents looking to set a good example for their kids, and everyone else in between.
The volunteer doctors, nurses, attorneys, mentors, ESOL instructors, food distributors, farmers, food packagers, financial services professionals, people sharing their faith, and so much more, contributed 75,141 hours of service in FY 2023.
