I'm moving to Denver in three weeks for a new job. I'd like to get involved in the community through volunteering. Are there any resources for finding places to volunteer? Anyone have suggestions for places to volunteer? I want to see the city, meet people and do my part to help.

Thanks! Wish me luck on the move!

Hi! and welcome. What a nice way to start getting to know the community, via volunteering. I would recommend that you check at your local branch library for resources.

Consider volunteering at the library: DPL: About the Library - Support the Library, Volunteer (http://denverlibrary.org/about/support/volunteer.html - broken link)

I also think there is a huge need for volunteering with at risk youth.

Denver Public Library has a great website with one page that talks about community resources:

DPL: Research Resources, Health, Community Resources (http://denverlibrary.org/research/community_assistance.html - broken link)

Also try:

Metro Volunteers

A quick Google search shows lots of opportunities:

I also attended a REI class on 14ners last night, and there is a huge need to protect the 14ners. The Forest Service needs volunteers:

Hi Georgiasmom, if you want to see the city and meet people, maybe volunteering with the police department might be something you would be interested in.
You should be able to call them up to find more information on how to get involved and when the next volunteer academy starts.

Best wishes on your move!

Default Thanks!

Thanks, Tolife and AuntieM. I'll check out your suggestions. I also found some information on the Volunteers of America website. I might do a little shopping around to see what feels like a good fit. I can't wait to make the move. -GAsmom
