Do you volunteer? Would you like to volunteer?

Volunteer Community Connections places volunteers of all ages, talents and interests with hundreds of non-profit organizations through Sarasota County.

Are you interested in the arts, or mentoring, or animal welfare?

How about environmental issues?

These and many more opportunities await your selection.

While volunteering is fun and rewarding, it also clearly benefits our local community and enables volunteers to learn new skills, stay active and make friends.

Whether you are an individual (teen to retirees included), a business or a group…you have talents and skills that others need.
