Volunteers

Millions of people volunteer every day, meeting community needs and making dreams come true. The time, energy and skills that volunteers like you invest in our community change peoples' lives. VolunteerConnect (formerly Hands On Helpers) has been connecting volunteers with community organizations and promoting service and volunteerism in Central New Jersey for over a decade.

Through VolunteerConnect, nonprofits and community organizations offer all kinds of volunteer opportunities, from skilled volunteering to stocking food pantry shelves, from serving as a nonprofit board member to playing games and helping children with homework, from participating in a building renovation to teaching an adult learner to read.

Let VolunteerConnect help you find the perfect volunteering opportunity – one that meets your interests, passions, skills and schedule. We can connect you with opportunities offered by hundreds of nonprofit organizations in Greater Mercer County and beyond. With so many volunteer opportunities available to you, you can pick and choose from the activities that interest you. You determine your level of involvement, and if your interests change, you can easily move on to something new.

Learn more about volunteering by exploring our web site and enjoy searching our database of volunteer opportunities. Our Advanced Search function lets you search by what interests you, by your availability and by your age group. You can learn more about local nonprofits in the database, too.

Our Mission is to enrich the lives of Central New Jersey residents by promoting effective volunteerism and service. We do this by:

Providing a free, user-friendly and current web site that functions as a volunteer clearinghouse, helping potential volunteers find suitable opportunities through organizations (e.g. non-profits, community groups) that will effectively use them.
Providing appropriate training and professional development to the organizations' leaders and staff, offering workshops and other resources to help them effectively recruit, utilize, retain, and recognize volunteers
Partnering with nonprofits, foundations, corporations, government agencies/officials, and other public and private entities to support initiatives and efforts that match our mission and contribute to the public good.
