ServeOhio Volunteer Centers

Volunteer Centers act as a primary point of entry for many individuals who want to become more involved in their communities via the performance of volunteer service. Such organizations may be independent or part of another organization, such as your local United Way. However, all volunteer centers have one main goal which unites them – they want to help you find the volunteer opportunity that is best matched to your interests, skills, and schedule. What follows is a comprehensive list of Ohio’s volunteer centers. If one of them falls in your area, contact them first to get started on your new volunteer venture.
