We want to help you find just the right opportunity!

Westchester County has teamed up with The Volunteer Center to make it easy for you to volunteer your time and skills to a good cause. Hundreds of non-profit local organizations are looking for volunteers to do everything from mentoring youth to leading tours of historic sites. Search through all the community service opportunities available using our new online search program. 

Volunteers are also being recruited to join the Westchester Emergency Volunteer Reserves and the Medical Reserve Corps. Volunteers receive free training in emergency preparedness and response and may be called into action to assist during a large-scale disaster or healthcare emergency in Westchester County. Both medical professionals and non-medical volunteers are needed.
