Skills-based Volunteering

Bring what you know

Some events call for more than hands. They call for a specific skill or experience. If you're a great graphic designer, website builder, social guru, PR specialist or a professional with something particular to offer, we'd love to have you.

WHAT SKILLS-BASED VOLUNTEERS DO

Skill-based roles are tied to specific events and programs and require a little more preparation, communication, and screening than open volunteering. They're a great fit for working professionals and people with specialized skills who want to contribute meaningfully without committing to ongoing committee work. Examples of skill-based opportunities: 


  • Event photographer or videographer 
  • Graphic designer
  • Public relations specialist  
  • Website builder
  • Social media specialist
  • Event planner
  • Event decor enthusiast

If you have a skill you'd like to share that isn't on this list - please reach out!  We want to know all about it! 

Our Services

To volunteer for a skilled based opportunity please fill out the form below and our Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch ASAP.  


Once approved, you'll receive role-specific instructions and any preparation materials. Many skill-based volunteers continue to support us across multiple events. Once we get to know your skills and experience, we'll often reach out when new opportunities are a good match.

Who is this for?

  • Working professionals with a skill to share
  • Educators, healers, communicators, makers, and helpers in any field
  • People who are comfortable in public-facing or specialized roles
  • Subject-matter experts who want to give back without joining a committee
