Volunteer Spotlight
Opportunity Partners is the highlight of my volunteering career. Working with the individuals who receive OP’s services in Linda-Mary’s Enrichment classroom, I learn so much from everyone and it makes my heart full. I always look forward to seeing everyone’s happy faces on Monday mornings!
Many Ways to Volunteer
We are seeking both long-term and one-time volunteers, including individuals and groups, to help with projects and programs of all sizes throughout the organization.
In some cases, volunteers must complete an orientation through our Volunteer Department and pass a background check. Volunteers will receive additional training as needed for a specific area of service.
Cooking for a Cause
Our Most Popular Group Volunteer Opportunity! Gather a small group of family, friends, or coworkers and use one of our on-site kitchens to prepare meals for the residents of our 20 group homes. It’s a fun and meaningful way to give back while bonding as a team!
Classroom Connections Volunteer
Join Our Classroom Connections Volunteer Team! Support our staff and coaches during Enrichment Classes at Koch by helping set up and break down the classroom, assisting students, and working alongside support coaches to create enriching opportunities for the people we serve. Volunteers can choose to help out one day a week (Monday-Friday) during either the 8:00-10:30 AM or 11:00 AM-1:00 PM shifts—or both!
Corporate Volunteering
Corporate groups are the heart of our volunteer program, giving our sponsors and donors the opportunity to witness our mission in action and make a direct impact. Through hands-on events like meal preparation, landscaping, painting, and celebrations with the people we serve, the volunteers help us build a stronger community and create lasting benefits for those in need.
For more information on corporate volunteer opportunities, please reach out to Mark Murray IV at mmurray@opportunities.org.
Landscaping Volunteers
Help us grow stronger together! Bring yourself and up to 29 of your closest coworkers or friends and transform our outdoor spaces with a new coat of mulch and freshly planted flowers.
Event Support Volunteer
As a Special Events Volunteer at Opportunity Partners, you’ll play a key role in making our seasonal and annual events a success. Your time and energy will help ensure that each event runs smoothly and creates a memorable experience for all.
