Once you are ready to commit to a role that fits your availability and matches your interests, click on the blue RESPOND button.
You will receive email confirmation once you have successfully registered for the upcoming need, along with any additional information you might require for a successful project.

If your availability changes and you are no longer able to complete your volunteer task, please let us know as soon as possible.
If we are more than 24 hours from the scheduled start time of the shift, you can remove yourself from the schedule right here in Get Connected. Just click on your initials in the top right corner, click on NEED RESPONSES, then use the drop-down menu to UNREGISTER from the need.
What is Get Connected and why do I need an account?
Get Connected is our volunteer management platform and your one-stop-shop for all things volunteerism. This is where we match you with our upcoming volunteer projects
Most of our volunteer opportunities are projects with clear deliverables or tasks to accomplish within the allotted project time. A few opportunities allow for volunteers to take on increased responsibility and leadership roles.
