Volunteer for Change in your community.  


VCLA can help you recruit volunteers

Online, searchable Database
All opportunities (either ongoing or special events) will be added to our online, searchable database.  

Volunteer Referrals
Each year, thousands of prospective volunteers look to VCLA for more in-depth assistance with finding volunteer opportunities. Volunteers are briefly interviewed and then referred to several organizations that match their interests and availability.

Holiday Volunteer Guide 
Over the holiday season, VCLA refers thousands of volunteers who choose to volunteer over the holiday season or donate resources to wish lists.

Episodic Volunteer Programs
Flex Program Project Calendar
For our Agency Partners, our Flexible Volunteer Program (Flex) Project Calendar offers a unique way to help meet your volunteer needs. For Flex projects, VCLA will:

  • Recruit volunteers
  • Provide a volunteer Team Leader to help supervise the project
  • Provide a group of volunteers on either a regular or one-time basis to help meet your agency's needs

For more information, please contact Pedro Barrientos at pbarrientos@vcla.net

Corporate Teambuilding Events
VCLA coordinates customized, teambuilding volunteer projects for corporate partners each year. If you have work for a large group of volunteers (typically 30-100), that can be completed through a one-time event, please contact Katharyn Muniz-Bandoni at
kbandoni@vcla.net

Global Youth Service Day - April
GYSD is the largest service event in the world. Students age 5 -25 and youth groups are encouraged to volunteer during this event. Agencies are encouraged to offer youth- and family-friendly volunteer projects throughout the week. VCLA will highlight them as special ways to get involved in the community. 


Martin Luther King Jr. Day - January 
Every January, volunteers remember and memorialize Dr. King by participating in service projects in their communities. Agencies are encouraged to offer volunteer projects during the holiday weekend. VLCA will highlight them as ways to honor Dr. King's legacy.
