Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Transition Projects. Founded more than 55 years ago by volunteers, we continue to rely on individuals and groups in our community who are donating their time and services to serve our participants.
Transition Projects has many ways to get involved. Our Meal Provider Program is one of our most popular and meaningful volunteer activities. We also offer roles for individuals and small groups, including both one-time and ongoing opportunities.
How To Volunteer
To begin volunteering, we ask that you attend a Volunteer Orientation, currently offered virtually. You will have the opportunity to meet staff, ask questions, and complete your volunteer application.
Get Started
Provide a Meal: Our BIGGEST Volunteer Need
Meal Provider groups consist of a team leader and a small group of volunteers — family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, or another type of service group — who come together to cook a full meal for shelter participants. Learn more about our Meal Provider Program.
Individual Volunteers
Volunteers who can commit to a weekly or bi-weekly schedule have many options! Volunteers distribute mail to resource center clients, assist in our hygiene center, process incoming donations and route them to programs in need, and many other roles based on your unique interests and skills.
Group Volunteers
With 12 program sites across the city, we have many opportunities for groups to help! Your team can provide a meal, deep clean a shelter, organize donations, help at an event, and more.
