Summer Volunteer Opportunities for Nearly Everyone

Long days, warm evenings, vacations and no school are a few of the reasons why many people consider summer their favorite season. Summer can also be a great time to become more involved in the community, meet new friends and help others by participating in volunteer opportunities.

There are several fun and fulfilling volunteer opportunities to consider. Here are a few examples:

Foothill Family Shelter – Serves Upland, Ontario, Montclair, Pomona, Claremont and Rancho Cucamonga, Foothill Family Shelter provides housing, family and community services. There are many ways to get involved, including sorting donations, stocking shelves in their food pantry, serving walk-in clients and providing resources to their walk-in clients. They also accept a wide-range of donations. Click here to learn more.

Reach Out - Based out of Upland, CA, Reach Out helps support youth, their families and our communities through assistance, awareness and leadership programs that serve 25,000 youth and adults each year in the Inland Empire and beyond. Some of their programs include youth development programs, substance abuse prevention, parenting programs and classes, creating healthy cities and more.
