At Neighborhood House, volunteers and interns are at the heart of everything we do. Whether you're supporting families at the Food Markets, tutoring new immigrants and refugees, creating safe spaces for youth, or helping out behind the scenes, your time and talents make a powerful difference.
We offer a wide variety of volunteer and intern opportunities, including one-time, ongoing, and group roles. No matter how you get involved, you’ll be part of a welcoming, mission-driven community where your contributions are deeply valued.
Getting started is easy! Here’s what to do:
Fill out the application – You’ll find the link in the upper right corner of this page. This helps us get to know you and what you’re interested in.
Schedule a quick interview – If you're signing up as an individual volunteer (not part of a group or a social work intern), we’ll connect with you for a brief 30-minute conversation to learn more about your interests and share next steps.
Group volunteers – After submitting the application, you'll receive a follow-up email with more information on how to get started.
Orientation & onboarding – After your interview, you’ll be invited to a New Volunteer Orientation. Depending on your role, we’ll also provide any program-specific onboarding to ensure you feel confident and prepared.
We’re so excited to have you join our community of changemakers. Let’s get started!
