Volunteer

Volunteering is an incredibly rewarding way to spend your time while enriching the lives of others.  Volunteer opportunities at Volunteers of America Colorado Branch vary from delivering meals to homebound seniors, brightening the decor of one of our shelters, or providing childcare to one of the students in our Head Start programs and much, much more.  Volunteer Painting

Our Volunteers often have such a life changing experience that they stay with us for years and become deeply involved in the success of our programs.  We simply ask that you bring your passion to the volunteer site and allow us to help you help the community! 

Volunteers are required to undergo background checks for some positions.  That is a cost to the volunteer of $20.  Once background check and orientation are complete, our volunteer services staff will work with you to find the perfect assignment on a one-time or ongoing basis. 

Please feel free to review our volunteer opportunities below.  If you don't know where to get started, call our main office at 303-297-0408 for assistance or click here to fill out an online volunteer form.
