Community Volunteer Training, Screening & Placement Program

Keeping Our Communities Strong

Volunteerism is the most effective way an individual can strengthen their community. Every nonprofit organization relies on volunteers.  And, volunteers seek the right opportunity to use their skills, enhance their lives and support their community. The Spirit of Giving Network’s Community Volunteer Training, Screening & Placement Program brought together nonprofit organizations and potential volunteers to simplify the process--so the focus stays on strengthening the community.

Helping Nonprofit Organizations

The Spirit of Giving Network recognized that all nonprofit organizations go through the same process to assess, train, educate, screen and match volunteers to the right opportunity. The Community Volunteer program takes care of all those steps for the nonprofits. From the application process, FDLE background checks, LiveScan fingerprint processing technology, screening individuals for volunteer suitability, the Community Volunteer program offers a fast, cost-efficient option to recruit, train and screen volunteers while providing nonprofits with a pool of people suited to their needs and ready to offer their time and talent.

Finding the Right Opportunity for You

The Community Volunteer program offers a unique way to get involved, use your experience and learn new skills. The Program presents a variety of opportunities from nonprofit organizations that are appealing and rewarding. Open to the community, it is a great way to decide on your own volunteer schedule and preferred service. You'll meet new friends, boost career options, and develop professional contacts while learning more about the local nonprofits that help your community. A meaningful volunteer experience opens your world to greater possibilities and lets you participate in making a difference.

The Community Volunteer Training, Screening & Placement Program is open to the public and welcomes high school and college students, adults, corporate employees or those looking for an encore career - in fact, anyone looking for a short or long-term volunteer project. The Community Volunteer Program is held every Thursday from 9 AM to 10 AM at the Junior League of Boca Raton Vesgo Community Resource Center.
