Mission Statement
Volunteer Chester County is a program that connects skilled and committed volunteers of all ages and backgrounds with meaningful opportunities to give back to the community through their time and talents.
Description
Volunteer Chester County partners with a wide variety of area nonprofits serving Chester County in broadly diverse areas, such as economic opportunity and employment, art and culture, health care assistance, assistance to seniors and the disabled, education and tutoring, and many more. The program facilitates personally meaningful volunteer experiences for individuals, as well as service that positively impacts each nonprofit’s mission. To foster this, Volunteer Chester County emphasizes:
1) Personalized one-on-one screening of volunteers for skills, interests and availability to ensure the best placement with a nonprofit partner,
2) Regular opportunities for volunteer and partner program feedback, and
3) Ongoing efforts to engage and support existing partners and to find new partners.
Volunteer Chester County is the only program of its kind, engaging caring and committed community volunteers in ways that provide critical assistance to nonprofits when and how they need it most.
