About

Get ready for a month of inspiration, compassion, and collective action as we celebrate National Volunteer Month 2026! It's that time of the year when we come together to recognize and appreciate the incredible individuals who dedicate their time and energy to make the world a better place through volunteerism.

National Volunteer Month is a time to honor the selfless efforts of volunteers from all walks of life. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or new to the world of giving back, this week is for you. It's a chance to shine a spotlight on the impact we can make when we unite for a common cause.

You can register for any shifts you want to and are able to attend! Feel free to participate in one, two, or every opportunity offered this week!
