Volunteer To Make A Change
You Can Help Us "Feed the Need" in a Variety of Ways.
Are you looking to give a helping hand? We try to make community involvement easy for those who are finding it difficult to locate community service programs. Every week, we supply much-needed resources to less fortunate San Diegans. Our most common volunteers include people who are struggling to find places to do community service, or those who’ve had a bad experience with helping other organizations.
We would love to have your help! With our community service programs, we provide flexible, and dynamic solutions for your community service requirements.
*For any corporate or volunteer groups that would like to schedule a group partnership, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator: Share@URBNresources.org
At URBN Resources, we take very seriously the health of everyone involved in our programs. We are committed to the safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors.
