Volunteering in Los Gatos
Your resource for community engagement
Volunteer Connections links Los Gatos residents with local nonprofits
to fuel community impact through meaningful volunteering.
Our Goal
To provide a bridge between nonprofit organizations serving Los Gatos in need of volunteers and individuals seeking opportunities to contribute to their community through volunteering.​
Why Volunteer
Volunteers are the backbone of many critical tasks that keep our community thriving. They help address unmet needs and are a vital resource for the effective outreach of many service organizations.
People who volunteer often find the experience very rewarding for many reasons including:
-
Gain inherent value in assisting those in need.
-
Use and acquire new skills that contribute to a worthy cause.
-
Build new relationships and expand personal networks.
-
Give back to a community that has given so much.
-
Add a new dimension to life that can foster a greater sense of purpose.

The Process
New and updated volunteer opportunities are collected monthly. The deadline for submissions is 5pm the Tuesday before the first Friday of each month. Nonprofit and civic organizations that serve Los Gatos may contact lgvolunteerconnections@gmail.com for more information.

The Volunteer Connections newsletter is emailed the first Friday of each month. It contains the current volunteer opportunities that local service organizations wish to highlight along with volunteer requirements, the date and time of jobs, and relevant contact information.
