Find your perfect volunteer opportunity
-
Empower your employees to make a real difference. Partner with La Casa Norte for rewarding volunteer opportunities that create lasting impact in the communities we serve.
-
Share your expertise! Skills-based volunteers are essential in providing our clients with the necessary skills they need in day-to-day life (e.g., financial literacy, technology training, culinary instruction, etc.).
-
Calling all schools, religious institutions, and civic organizations! Partner with us to host donation drives (food, books, clothes, etc.) or collaborate with us on service projects.
-
Flying solo? Opportunities to volunteer individually vary from our Volunteer Impact Days, donation drives, and much more. We will work together to create the perfect volunteer experience for you.
Can’t make it in person?

Volunteers can host donation drives by collecting high-need items such as non-perishable food, basic toiletries, hygiene items, and new clothing.
