Below is a list of selected volunteer opportunities that are suitable for HPS 1000. They are suitable for HPS 1000, because these agencies offer short-term volunteer opportunities. They are listed by County and then Focus (e.g., Animals, Causes). Please click the Focus link to be taken to more information. 

Note: Agencies with the SE notation following the agency name means that Volunteers are only needed to assist when the agencies have special events. Any events will be listed on our Dated Events page.
