For Organizations

Our Community Volunteer Coordinator connects with organizations to inquire about their ongoing volunteer needs, and reduce duplication of volunteer recruitment efforts by recruiting and placing volunteers with suitable organizations.


Organizations are encouraged to reach out to and  update the Community Volunteer Coordinator of their changing/ongoing volunteer needs. The Community Volunteer Coordinator refers individuals to specific organizations or volunteer roles.




The Hope and Area Volunteer Program (HAVP) improves health and well-being of Hope and Area by connecting volunteers with volunteer opportunities throughout the community, welcoming new residents, and fostering intergenerational  relationships.
