Volunteer

Giving of your time and experience may be the best way to support community members in need.

Ways You Can Volunteer

By volunteering with Denver Human Services or one of our many community partners, you can help everyone in Denver be connected, supported, safe, and well.

Volunteer with Denver Human Services

We're always in need of volunteers to help with our annual #BeAGiver seasonal drives. Opportunities are available during the drives (listed below):

  • Spring Showers Hygiene Drive (May)
  • School Supply Drive (July-August)
  • Holiday Gift Drive (November-December)

Volunteer in the Community

If you’d like to be connected to community agencies in need of volunteer support, simply call the Mile High United Way’s 2-1-1 Help Center (dial 2-1-1), or visit 211colorado.org. Once you dial 2-1-1, you’ll be connected to a community resource expert, who will ask about your skills, experience, and interests and help you identify a volunteer opportunity.

You can also search online listings of open volunteer positions throughout the Denver Metro area by visiting Spark Change, our local volunteer center. Spark Change offers volunteer matching, training, and advocacy services.
