Volunteer Connection

Volunteer opportunities in the Colorado Jewish community

The Volunteer Connection provides meaningful service opportunities that impact the lives of both volunteers and recipients and promotes the growth of trustful relationships among people and agencies in the Colorado Jewish community. Your generosity makes a difference.

Hands-On Volunteering

Volunteers are considered essential services and, with caution and care, it is safe to help those more vulnerable than ourselves. Sign up to volunteer with JEWISHcolorado, a community partner, or another local nonprofit. You will need to register directly with each organization.

VOLUNTEER SAFETY

The work of volunteers is vital, and we take your health and safety seriously. Follow CDC guidelines on how to protect yourself, and if you are feeling ill or exhibiting symptoms, please stay home. If you would like to get involved but cannot participate in-person, consider virtual alternatives to in-person volunteer activities.
