Volunteer with JCFS Chicago and make a positive change in your community.
During National Volunteer Week we shine a light on the people that give their time, talent and voice to make a difference in the community.
We match your skills, availability and passions with our volunteer opportunities. Our projects range from once a year to once a week, from all across Chicago to the suburbs.
Please note: Volunteer opportunities are specific to the Greater Chicagoland area (Lake and Cook counties).
Volunteers help others, while also enriching their own lives through:
- Giving back and lending a helping hand
- Exploring personal interests and passions
- Meeting new people
- Uncovering hidden skills and talents
- Enriching one’s education and building a resume
Get involved today!
To get started and for more opportunities, please complete the volunteer application and select the opportunities you are most interested in. A member of our volunteer department will contact you shortly.
