Give Back

There is no shortage of opportunities to volunteer and give back to our community. While this is not a comprehensive list of ways you can give back, here are a few resources to help you get started.

  • VolunteerMatch directory offers a variety of volunteer opportunities giving you the option to filter by virtual or in-person.
  • PowerOf is also a platform for volunteer opportunities that allows you to filter by city.
  • This Thrillist article written by Elsie Yang shares up to date volunteer opportunities in DC as of April 2021.

We also worked with @clockoutdc to put together a guide on how to give back to your fellow Washingtonians during the holidays — and year round.

Jade at @clockoutdc has also compiled an incredible list of socially-distanced volunteer opportunities in DC. Scroll through the post below to explore ways you can get involved.


Be sure to also check out the DC mutual aid networks to support individuals in your neighborhood. To locate current efforts across the city, find help, or find out how to plug in, visit the link below:
