Connect with purpose and make a positive impact on the lives of others in our DC, MD, and Northern VA community. Volunteers of all ages, backgrounds and ability can help those in need during COVID-19 and inspire social change by supporting one another, feeding the hungry, caring for the earth, and so much more.
Explore volunteer opportunities from local and national organizations as well as suggestions of how to start your own “Jconnector” volunteer group— bringing together your personal networks to help each other and those in need in your community. Learn more.
