WELCOME TO

CB's BAY AREA VOLUNTEER INFORMATION CENTER

The purpose of this Web publication is to provide information about volunteer opportunities in the Bay Area. Hopefully, volunteerism will be stimulated and facilitated by letting potential volunteers know about the wide range of opportunities open to them and by giving Bay Area non-profit organizations a means of publishing their goals and needs.

If you are considering volunteering we hope the following information helps you find the opportunity you are looking for. Volunteers are needed to do just about anything from repairing computers to picking fruit to making sandwiches. Time commitments can range from a few hours for a single project to as much time as you have available. Try something new. Learn new skills and meet new people. Take a chance!

She would like to tell you that she is really prettier than her picture and that she is saving up for a color scanner to prove it. She is a BMD (that does not stand for Big Mad Dog).
