Volunteer Orientation

Save to Favorites

This is an opportunity for anyone who would like to volunteer with our organization to meet and talk to our team about our organization and what we will need volunteers for.

Volunteer and Intern support is essential to the operations of Project LIFT and our programs. However, our goal is to also provide our volunteers and interns with opportunities to connect with their passion or career interests. Our customized opportunities provide volunteers and interns with hands-on experiences that can be added to a resume, fulfill passion, provide career exploration or just allow you to have some plain old fun! There are many volunteer positions available to fit your schedule. The following are just some of the ways you can become involved.

You can assist with Lifting the Maximum Potential Among youth by sharing your time, talents or resources. Please see the opportunities below. If you are ready to volunteer or would like additional information, email us at sadia@projectlift.org.
