Find your perfect volunteer opportunity

  • Empower your employees to make a real difference. Partner with La Casa Norte for rewarding volunteer opportunities that create lasting impact in the communities we serve.

  • Share your expertise! Skills-based volunteers are essential in providing our clients with the necessary skills they need in day-to-day life (e.g., financial literacy, technology training, culinary instruction, etc.).

  • Calling all schools, religious institutions, and civic organizations! Partner with us to host donation drives (food, books, clothes, etc.) or collaborate with us on service projects.

  • Flying solo? Opportunities to volunteer individually vary from our Volunteer Impact Days, donation drives, and much more. We will work together to create the perfect volunteer experience for you.

Can’t make it in person?

Check out our remote and drop-off volunteer opportunities!

  • Volunteers can host donation drives by collecting high-need items such as non-perishable food, basic toiletries, hygiene items, and new clothing.

    Unsure of where to begin?
    Check out our Amazon Wish List!

    Items purchased provide immediate, tangible relief to youth at our emergency shelters and drop-in centers.

  • Short on time? Connect with our staff to coordinate a quick-and-easy drop-off.

    Our needs change throughout the year, so be sure to check in with our team prior to drop-off.

    Contact email: volunteer@lacasanorte.org.

  • Make a donation via our Amazon Wish List.

    There, you’ll find an up-to-date list of our most pressing needs, including socks, underwear, coats, and more.

    Did you know?
    Socks and underwear are the most needed but least donated items at most emergency shelters!
