Volunteer Contacts

Listings are categorized by the Sustainable Development goals to which an organization's mission is primarily attached. In 2015, the United Nations adopted an agenda consisting, in part, of 17 Sustainable Development goals (opens in new tab) for a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet", with the understanding that these areas are interconnected and require strategies to tackle each in order for us to move forward together. Navigate through the sections below to discover Community Partners which serve a cause close to your interests!
