Volunteers are the heart of Jewish Family & Child Service. Every year, approximately 100 people of all ages, races and ethnicities donate their time to JFCS. During our 2011-2012 fiscal year, volunteers contributed more than 4,500 hours of service, an in-kind value of more than $100,000. Do you have professional or “talented amateur” life skills you can share on a limited, pro bono basis with someone in need?

  • Can you teach someone how to develop a budget, balance their checkbook, or figure out how to manage their bills?
  • Are you a whiz at resume writing, interviewing or job coaching?
  • Are you a skilled cook, shopper, and low-cost meal planner?
  • Are you an accomplished gardener/yard work maven?
  • Are you IT savvy, able to offer tech support or instruction?
  • Do you excel at sorting, organizing, de-cluttering, or preparing for a move?

If you have skills, experience or expertise you would be willing to share on a limited, pro bono basis with members of our community!
