Volunteering is health!
At Share Ourselves, we believe in the power of individuals coming together to create meaningful impact in the community. Since our founding in 1970, our dedicated volunteers have been instrumental in our service delivery, leaving a legacy of compassion. Become a volunteer and join our vibrant community of volunteers who make a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors.

“Make it enjoyable for yourself, because if you’re just going through the motions, you won’t make a significant impact. Get to know the other volunteers and the individuals you’re serving. By forming genuine connections, you’ll truly understand the transformative power of compassion and service.”
