Volunteer Opportunities
Throughout the year, Project Outreach volunteer opportunities span all ages and interests. So whatever time, talents, or resources you have to share, Project Outreach can help you find ways to bless our Southwest Florida community.
Browse our events below, and if you see an opportunity that aligns with your interests and available time, register and join us! We do our best to keep these events updated, but because community needs frequently change, the best way to stay current is to join our Facebook group.
