As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to learn from one another, to grow, and to become stronger.
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of both COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Volunteers needed in Northern Virginia (NoVA) to visit with older adults or adults with disabilities while their caregivers get a much needed break. No "hands-on" care required. Volunteers act as companions while family caregivers get a chance to relax, or accomplish other tasks. You may find yourself watching TV together, reading out loud, chatting about issues of interest, working on a puzzle, or going for a walk in the neighborhood. Training is provided and you will be matched with a person who suits your interests and availability.
Most respite care volunteers volunteer twice a month for 2 hours at a time.
