Volunteer Opportunities in Orlando
Volunteer Orlando engages groups in hands-on service projects and activities to accelerate solutions to community problems.
Volunteer Orlando - We're Not a Referral Service
We turnkey projects so groups can focus on making a positive impact that improves the lives of people who need help.
No need for you to find and vet nonprofit organizations, do site visits, identify appropriate tasks that you can complete, or do division of labor planning. You won't need to estimate, source, buy, store, deliver and set up the supplies and tools you will need to equip and support your participants.
From project discovery to pre-planning, setup, on-site leadership, participant support, to cleanup, Volunteer Orlando will manage every detail in close collaboration with your group. We do this work on a fee-for-service basis.
You engage and know your team achieved more than anyone expected - on time with no cost overruns.
Activities That Fit Your Group, Your Schedule
Outdoor - Go into the community and help a local nonprofit or park. Your participants will see their collective impact firsthand.
Indoor - Engage in a project from wherever you are, like your workplace or hotel. Your team can help local nonprofits, schools, and parks.
You can also help during come-and-go activities that spark connections among your participants - perfect for meeting registration, dinners, and social events.
How We Help Nonprofits Do More
Nonprofit partners can take on more ambitious tasks, knowing Volunteer Orlando's projects are well planned, managed, and led.
Typically, when groups inquire directly with nonprofits, many default to activities like event staffing, cleaning or sorting. They are concerned that more complex tasks may not be completed correctly requiring their time and money to fix.
Volunteer Orlando helps nonprofits focus their time and financial resources on what they do best: helping people.
