The Volunteer Center of Calaveras County is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, formed for the purpose of improving the quality of life for the citizens of Calaveras County. The Volunteer Center serves Calaveras County citizens and their families by connecting community based Volunteers with those in need of assistance.

We maintain a countywide VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES database via this web site for the purpose of connecting caring volunteers with opportunities to make a difference in their community. Please consider sharing your talents, skills and experiences.

Perhaps you or someone you know would like to give someone a ride to their doctor appointment, take someone to the post office or grocery store . . . maybe read the labels for them!

Maybe you're up to changing a light bulb, or fixing a leaky faucet, tighten the screws in the front door so it closes, cut wood, clear weeds for fire defense, take someone to the Senior Center or to senior meals for an outing, make regular phone calls to check on a neighbor who is living alone, serve as a board member or as secretary or financial accountant, or . . .

The idea is to help our neighbors continue to reside safely in their own homes for as long as possible, and each do our part to prevent isolation. You will be forever grateful that you did! It's all about helping to identify issues, define solutions and make good decisions. It's all about quality of life. Its all about community.

Should you or anyone you know need assistance, or wish to become part of the volunteer "safety net," please read the VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES page. If you are in need of a volunteer, CLICK HERE to add your information to our database.info, summarize a topic, or tell a story.
