Volunteer with VillageCore
Volunteers make our programs possible. You can mentor a team, teach a session, support an event, or help with research, and you do it alongside people of every generation.
Ways to help
Opportunities range from mentoring in InterGen Innovators to supporting events, teaching skills sessions, and assisting with research initiatives. There is a role for most skills and most schedules.
New volunteers receive orientation, ongoing support, and flexible scheduling so the commitment fits around existing work and family.
Why people volunteer here
Volunteers consistently describe the intergenerational contact as the part they did not expect and would not give up. Research on social connection points the same way.
What support you get
New volunteers receive orientation before they start, ongoing support from the program team while they are active, and scheduling that works around existing jobs and family commitments.
You do not need a technology background to help. Sessions need facilitators and organizers as much as they need engineers.
Getting started
Joining the volunteer team is straightforward: tell us what you would like to do and when you are available, and we will match you to a role in an upcoming program or event.
