Q: Is the Volunteer Center a part of Gloucester County College?

Q: Can the Volunteer Center help me with my economic or personal problems?

Unfortunately, we cannot provide direct services. Our mission here at the Volunteer Center is to promote volunteerism in Gloucester County and support the non-profit community.   However, the Volunteer Center is able to refer you to one of our network non-profits (click here for a list), or visit the Heart of Gloucester County, a resource that will guide you through to find the help you need.

Q: Does it matter how old I am or what skills I have in order to volunteer?

Each volunteer opportunity is seeking a person with specific skill sets.  Our goal at the Volunteer Center is to find the perfect match for each of our potential volunteers.

At the Volunteer Center, we believe there is a volunteer opportunity out there for everyone – a position that fits their needs perfectly. So while there may be an organization with an age restriction, we will work with each individual until we discover a volunteer position that is suitable for them.
