YOU can serve at Overflow

Volunteers are an essential part of our team. By donating time and talent, volunteers make a difference locally and globally. We offer meaningful, easy-to-learn, and impactful volunteer experiences for individuals and groups, for short-term and long-term service that fits within your schedule. We even have some opportunities that require less than 10 minutes of training, so you will feel like you are making an impact immediately. 

How do I become a volunteer?

Volunteers need to be able to work independently or with a parent.

Volunteers 14 years and older can volunteer solo.

What to Expect When Volunteering

After completing an orientation, you will be matched and trained in the area that best utilizes your time, talents, and passions. We have volunteer and staff trainers who will support you through every step!

There is no minimum number of hours required to serve. You will always have full control of your volunteer schedule through our online volunteer system. Some volunteers come for 5 - 10 hours a year and others 2 - 20 hours a week. Its up to you.  

Overflow is a busy and active place to serve. When volunteering we recommend wearing closed toe shoes and something you don't mind getting dirty.
