Opportunities From: New Hampshire's Volunteer Hub

The Windowdressers Nashua team are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator. This position organizes participation at the week long Community Build event that will be held in Nashua in the fall. Tasks involve ensuring that shifts at the Build are staffed with volunteers/participants and confirming that all participants receiving inserts through the program, have signed up to participate for the appropriate number of shifts.

The Windowdressers Nashua team are looking for a volunteer Outreach Coordinator. This position helps to market the program in their local community, attracting order requests for our insulating internal window inserts, as well as other volunteers to help build inserts. The position works with other team members to share promotional materials, table at local events, inform local media about the program and create a social media plan.

Though 143 years old, Webster House just installed its first donor database, Network For Good, four years ago. Over this time the database has been inconsistently managed making accessing data that is essential to Webster House's growth and mission very difficult.  We need help re-organizing the database which requires routine data management and data entry. Admittedly, these tasks are unglamorous but essential to our mission. If you like detailed work, correcting obvious typos and making things consistent and logical (for example - St./Str./ St/ or Street?) then you'll love this volunteer opportunity. 

If you have question or want to learn more, call Paul Staller at (603) 777-7861 or email at paul.staller@websterhousenh.org.

Why should you volunteer at Meals on Wheels?

We all know what it feels like to be lonely - and to be hungry not just for a meal, but for the nourishment that comes from personal connection. That’s where you and Meals on Wheels come in. By becoming a volunteer, you’ll deliver a meal, provide a friendly visit, and offer a safety check to homebound and disabled adults who may not have contact with another person all day. You’ll join more than 250 local volunteers - working collectively throughout Hillsborough County to make sure the older adults who took care of us aren’t forgotten, hungry or alone. It doesn’t take much from each of us to improve the lives of so many. Together, we can make a huge difference for the homebound and disabled adults in our community.

Just a few hours of your assistance on a weekday , typically between 9:30 am and 12:00 pm can help your neighbors remain healthy and live independently at home.

Volunteer individually or as a part of a team on a rotating cycle. Training is provided. Please call Sean at 603-424-9967 or email volunteers@hcmow.org to find out about available volunteer opportunities in your community!

We are the New Hampshire affiliate of the global Destination Imagination program, which offers project-based challenges for teams from kindergarten through university.

Our teams spend months working together to solve complex challenges in fields like STEM, fine arts, engineering, and service learning.

Watch teams present their unique solutions.

Evaluate their work using a pre-defined rubric.

This is one of the most rewarding volunteer roles you will ever have. You are not just a "judge"; you are a mentor, an audience, and a crucial source of validation for these teams.

By giving your time, you are:

Building Confidence: Your positive feedback helps students believe in their ideas and their abilities.

Fostering Resilience: You are encouraging students who have spent months overcoming obstacles to bring their ideas to life.

Inspiring Future Innovators: You get a front-row seat to the incredible, out-of-the-box thinking of NH's youth, and you get to be the one to tell them, "Great job."

Training: Virtual training sessions (approximately 2 hours) will be held in the weeks leading up to the tournament.

Saturday, March 7, 2026

Currently there is a high need for reliable volunteers to answer calls on the LGBT National crisis prevention hotlines. Are you a good listener? Are you caring and want to provide a safe space for those who may be extremely isolated and afraid in these current times?

If you are excited in being able to be trained and take on a regular weekly hotline shift we would love for you to apply!

All volunteer opportunities are remote for those in the United States and Canada only. The LGBT National Help Center provides several national crisis prevention hotlines to support and uplift the LGBTQ+ community. Hotline volunteers will take calls and online chats from:

The LGBT National Hotline (all ages)

The LGBT National Youth Talkline (for those 25 and younger)

The LGBT National Senior Hotline (for those 50 and older)

The LGBT National Coming Out Support Hotline (all ages)

The LGBT Online One-to-One Online chat (all ages)

Volunteers provide peer-support, community connections, and local resources to those who have questions or concerns regarding sexuality and/or gender identity, feelings of isolation, bullying and discrimination, coming out, relationships, safer sex, thoughts of suicide and self harm, and much more by offering a safe space to talk and know they will receive respectful and affirming care.

Calls can range from short conversations on finding local resources in their area to conversations on personal journeys of self discovery, fears and isolation. Volunteers do not give advice or tell calls what to do, but offer a space to be open to discuss feelings and emotions on a deeper level and help build the tools that callers never reach a point of crisis on their path forward.

In these rough times many calls can be difficult, self reflection and ability to separate yourself from the calls is extremely important. Having a support system for yourself (along side support from staff and other volunteers) is highly valued to combat possible burn out.

Volunteers selected will go through several months of training before taking calls on their own.

Hotline volunteer requirements include:

-identifying as part of the LGBTQ+ community

-Age 21 or older

-Ability to take calls/chats remotely through internet connectivity.

-Having reliable internet access

-Have a quiet and isolated space to take confidential calls while on shift.

-Able to commit to one three hour shift a week for at least twelve months after completing training.

Currently all remote volunteer positions require being located in the United States or Canada.

Applications can be found at lgbthotline.org/hotline-application

Our population is aging rapidly, with adults aged 60 and older now outnumbering children under 18 in the Granite State. Many older adults live alone, often without family or friends nearby to help, and find themselves socially isolated. Social isolation can be detrimental to physical health, including higher risk of heart disease, dementia, and stroke.

As our population ages, we are seeing a much higher prevalence of social isolation, which SNMOW aims to tackle with the Friendly Visitor program. Friendly visitors are assigned to clients based on a variety of factors, including personality traits and similar interests and are scheduled to visit their friends up to once per week. 

This relationship is beneficial to both the client and the volunteer, giving them new connections, a greater sense of purpose, and better overall well-being.

Each year on a summer Sunday afternoon, MacDowell, America's pre-eminent artist residency program, awards the Edward MacDowell Medal in the Arts to an artist who has made an outstanding contribution to culture at large through achievement in their field. We call the celebration "Medal Day," and it's an opportunity for visitors to learn about and honor the work of the Medalist and explore the life of MacDowell first-hand. Festivities are free and open to the public, and include an award ceremony, picnicking on our grounds in Peterborough New Hampshire, and visits to the studios of artists-in-residence across our 450-acre wooded property. Volunteers help with parking, ceremony-ushering, greeting guests at our onsite library, and assisting artists at their studios. In 2025, Medal Day will be on Sunday, June 29th and the Medalist is Chilean-born artist, photographer, architect, and filmmaker Alfredo Jaar.  More: https://www.macdowell.org/events/2025-medal-day

Volunteer museum guides are needed for the 2025 season at the Warner House.  Built in 1716-1718, the Warner House is a National Historic Site and shares the stories of the 6 generations of Macpheadrises, Warners, Sherburnes, and Penhallows who lived in the house until 1930.  The house became a museum in 1932 and has been open to the public seasonally since then.  Fully furnished with period pieces, many of which are original to the house, guides take visitors through the house on tours that last about 45 minutes. 

Training is provided and the ability to stand for long periods of time, walk, and climb stairs is required.  This is idea for people who enjoy talking with people and history.  The museum is open June through mid-October, Thursdays-Sundays, 11am to 4pm.

Greeters are the first person visitors meet when coming to the Warner House.  Greeters welcome visitors, give a brief explanation of the museum, take admission and help to coordinate tours with the guide.  Key tasks include providing a welcoming environment for visitors, taking admission (cash and credit - using the credit card machine), keeping records of visitors admissions, restocking brochures and shop items as needed, etc. This is great for people who enjoy history and talking with people but may not be able to physically give tours.

The museum is open June through mid-October, Thursdays-Sundays from 11am to 4pm.  Shifts can be 2.5 hours or 5 hours.  This task can be done seated and in a climate controlled space.  Training is provided.

Company Description

The Global Entomology Coalition (GEC) exists to create a cultural shift in public perception of insects and propel entomological research forward. We are a rapidly growing collaborative network comprising entomologists (amateur and professional), researchers, educators, artists, philanthropists, policymakers, and enthusiasts from around the world. The GEC serves as a unified platform for fostering cooperation, sharing knowledge, and driving progress in the field of entomology. It all starts with education and outreach. We provide resources, training programs, educational initiatives, and open research expeditions to the public to inspire and foster appreciation for the incredibly important behaviors, adaptations, and environmental roles insects play in maintaining global ecological balance.

It all starts with education and outreach. We provide resources, training programs, educational initiatives, and open research expeditions to the public to inspire and foster appreciation for the incredibly important behaviors, adaptations, and environmental roles insects play in maintaining global ecological balance.

At the core of the GEC’s objectives is the promotion of research that addresses critical issues related to insect biodiversity, ecology, behavior, and physiology. By facilitating communication and collaboration among experts across various disciplines and the general public, the coalition aims to accelerate scientific discoveries and develop effective strategies for insect conservation and discovery.

The coalition actively engages with local businesses and communities, NGOs, biological field stations, universities and schools to advocate for evidence-based policies and practices that support insect conservation efforts and change the global attitudes toward insects to help turn their negative reputation around.

This is a remote role, with monthly or bi-monthly meetings via Zoom to collaborate on initiatives to achieve the GEC's mission.

This role is open to worldwide applicants who can preferably provide perspective and assistance in one of the following areas of nonprofit governance:

Join the Board of Trustees of the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum

Looking for a board role where your experience, perspective, and judgment truly make a difference?

The Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum (MKIM) is seeking engaged, thoughtful leaders—professionals, retirees, and community members alike—to join its Board of Trustees at an important moment of growth and transition. This is an opportunity to contribute real leadership, not a ceremonial title, to an organization with statewide cultural significance.

MKIM serves as a living center for Native history, artistic expression, and contemporary voices in New Hampshire, a state with no Federally or State-recognized Native tribes and no reservation lands. Each year, approximately 8,000 visitors, including 2000 schoolchildren, engage with Native culture through our exhibitions, programs, and events.

MKIM has put itself on solid financial footing.  Now the museum has the freedom to think bigger.  This is a moment to reimagine what MKIM can become - new programs, new partnerships, new ways of bringing Native voices, culture, and wisdom to the public.  Trustees joining now will help turn that creative energy into experiences that deepen impact and expand who the museum reaches.  Whether you are in the midst of your career or bring a lifetime of experience, this is a chance to make a real contribution.

We are seeking Trustees who are ready to be active contributors.

Trustees are expected to:

Prepare for and participate actively in monthly Board meetings

Serve on at least one committee and take ownership of projects

Provide oversight on finances, strategy, and major decisions

Support fundraising and donor relationship-building

Attend events and serve as ambassadors for the Museum

Advise and support the Executive Director in implementing strategy

Average commitment: 4–8 hours per month (with flexibility for deeper involvement)

Monthly Board meetings (primarily virtual; two in-person meetings annually in Warner, NH)

Three-year terms; up to two consecutive terms

There is no required minimum gift. Trustees are asked to make MKIM a philanthropic priority and to give annually at a level meaningful to them. Full Board participation in giving is essential to institutional credibility.

Experience in finance, legal, development, IT, or digital marketing is welcome—but commitment, curiosity, and a willingness to engage matter most. Interest in Native history and contemporary Native issues is important; prior expertise is helpful but not required.

Trustee positions are volunteer and unpaid.

Volunteering at Camp Sunshine is truly an unforgettable and life-changing experience. Talk to any volunteer and nearly everyone will say that they get more out of Camp Sunshine than they give. The opportunity to directly help children and their families to laugh, create happy memories, and connect with other families is magical.

More than 2,000 dedicated volunteers come from around the country and world to participate in our year-round program each year. Many return again and again. Since its inception in 1984, volunteers have donated in excess of one million hours of their time, and have saved Camp Sunshine millions of dollars through their donation of time and services. More than helping hands, they are the heart and soul of the organization. The spirit, energy, and compassion they bring to the program are priceless. 

BACKSTAGE POSITIONS

Set Building:

You don’t need to be an experienced carpenter to help with set building (although we welcome you if you are!). Our Lead Carpenters and experienced builders will teach you and guide you in tasks appropriate for your skill level.  It is also a great way to learn and practice a new skill and get to see your work in the final production. Some sets are realistic interiors that look just like a room in someone’s home and others are unit sets with many pieces that move in and out.  This is a fun and challenging way to be a part of a production. Set building takes place at a variety of times so you can probably find sessions that work with your schedule. Keep an eye out for an upcoming Power Tool Workshop where you can get concentrated instruction.

Set Painting:

You don’t need to be an artist/painter, or to be gifted (although there are lots of opportunities for specialized art work if you are an artist).  Much of the scene painting we do at The Players consists of base-coating, solid color painting, and easily painted specialty pieces that require only patience and the love of moving a paintbrush.  Again, our Lead Painters will be at every session to guide you in tasks and techniques.  Scene painting is great fun and even if you have never done it before, you’ll be able to learn techniques that will have you painting like Rembrandt.  Painting sessions are at varying times so you cand pick and choose those that work with your schedule.  There’s nothing like seeing your hard work under stage lights!

Set Dressing:

Do you love yard sales and antique shops?  Do you love decorating would you like to have access to a budget and a whole warehouse floor full of interesting objects?  Do you have an eye for where to hang pictures, where to put artificial plants, which curtains work best with the design of the room?  If this sounds like you, you will love set dressing.  Working with the designer you will bring the set to life by adding all the finishing touches.  You’ll also be working side by side with the Properties Designer, always a fun collaboration.  You’ll do a lot of your work later in the production calendar, once the set is finished, so it’s often a whirlwind of hunting, shopping, hanging, and excitement as you move things into the Audi during the last week or two (for musicals) and bring the set detail to life.

Props Manager and Props Assistant

Such a simple title for a very challenging and rewarding job.  The props manager makes a list of properties needed for the show using the script.  They then work with the director on additions and deletions. You will be finding, buying, or pulling from our extensive prop collection all the things that the actors handle during a play. A love of yard sales, thrift shops, crafts and collecting makes you a perfect candidate!  Sometimes you will work in collaboration with the set dresser as well.  Each play has different prop requirements—Our Town has about six props and Not A Word had more than 50. In addition to getting the props ready the Prop Manager attends rehearsals (later in the rehearsal period, usually) and all performances to work backstage with props assistants and the stage manager to be sure all items are in the correct spot and ready for actors.  Note: The Players are very aware of and careful for prop safety, following strict guidelines for prop firearms, knives, swords, etc.

Costume Designer, Costume Assistants, Wardrobe Manager

If you love working with people and clothing you might find your theatre home on the second floor of the Players’ Studio, where you will find one of the largest collections of costumes in the state.  What we don’t have in stock we build or borrow and every show needs lots of help with costumes.  If you have any training or experience with costume design, we need you now! If you are interested in learning we can pair you with our experienced designers on a few shows until you feel ready to design on your own.

If you like to sew or have always wanted to learn, we also need you now.  Costumes need to be altered, mended or modified. Bring your skills to the costume assistant position.

And maybe you love costumes but don’t want to design or sew!  We need you to work on wardrobe, which is the packing, transporting, organizing at the theatre, being a backstage dresser and helping actors with costume changes, collecting, laundering, and returning of all costumes used in a show.  Don’t worry if this sounds like a lot—you’ll have plenty of help.  Wardrobe work is a great way to be backstage during a show and to be a vital part of the action.  Most of your commitments as wardrobe manager will be during the last few weeks of production and immediately following the show.

Run Crew

Are you calm under pressure?  Do you love order and organization? Do you look good in black and a headset?  Our run crews perform set and prop changes under the direction of the Technical Director and Stage Manager.  You will often work with a stagehand script, a detailed list of all the changes and who does what and when. The run crew for 39 Steps last season even got a curtain call because they did so much in full view of the audience.  This is a great opportunity to be an integral part of a play if you don’t want to act.  You will need to be at rehearsals later in the rehearsal period and for all rehearsals once the show has moved to the Audi.

Load-In and Strike Crew

It takes a village to get our shows from the Studio to the City Auditorium.  Sometimes it means taking an entire set apart and loading it, along with props, costumes, lighting and sound equipment on a truck, moving it downtown, unloading it and reassembling it on the Audi stage.  It is a brief but intense experience with lots of camaraderie and a delicious lunch served by Players cooks and bakers.  Then, at the end of the show, it all has to be done in reverse…when the actors and run crews are tired and very much in need of your help.  The cast and crew are required to do this job but would welcome you to join them for either or both.

Marketing and Publicity

We have a committee for Marketing and Publicity that could really use your help with everything from graphic design to poster runs. For instance, we need a “Volunteer With the Players” brochure designed as soon as possible!  If you are an experienced graphic design person you will find lots of fun, quirky, and challenging projects waiting for you.  If you just want to help with logistics, if you like to write newsletter entries and copy, if you want to help communicate with print and TV media, help design our show programs, posters, and other publicity we need you.  This work can often be done entirely on your schedule and, again, if you want to learn we have lots of experienced professionals to help you.

Box Office

Help out with all ticket related tasks from managing season subscriptions to taking tickets (paper or electronic) at the door.  Our Box Office committee members will train you on the software and other procedures.  This is a great way to meet the public and will challenge and reward you. Some work required across the season and at performances.

Shop and Paint Shop Maintenance and Studio Maintenance

If you have already had your Studio tour you have seen how well organized and maintained the shop, paint shop, scenery docks, prop and costume storage, library, sound equipment storage, kitchen, bathrooms and rehearsal areas are.  If only this happened by magic!  But it takes many people who are good organizers and meticulous cleaners. (Remember, it’s always more fun to clean someone else’s house!). These spaces are used constantly by people who are so busy building, painting, sewing, and other show-related tasks that they don’t always have time to keep these spaces like they should be.  Once each year there is a Studio clean-up day, which involves many people, but we need help throughout the rest of the year.  You can make your own schedule and get plenty of advice and guidance from experienced Players. It’s not a glamorous job but you will be held in highest esteem and can feel proud of your work every time you come into our beautiful space.

Workshop Assistant/Administrator

The Players offer training workshops—single events—throughout the year and workshop leaders sometimes need help with registration, confirmation, or logistics for those workshops before and on the day of.  If you help out you get to attend the workshop for free!  This isn’t a huge time requirement but it can make a big difference for the instructor and it’s a great chance to get to know people.

Social Events Planning/Set-up/Clean-up

One of the best things about being involved with the Community Players is the frequent opportunities to engage socially.  Each show has a company party and there are often other opportunities to share a meal together at the Studio including the Annual Meeting.  We always need help planning pot luck dinners, shopping for supplies, setting up, and cleaning up, and, of course, enjoying the social time.

Lead and Assistant Producers

Even if you’re not a CEO or head of a big organization (although we welcome all levels of experience) we need your help producing our shows.  It is work that goes largely unrecognized by the outside world—we LOVE our producers within the Players family—but without which there would be no productions. Lead Producers go through one of our periodic Producer Training workshops, which are open to anyone.  This is a great way to learn about all the hard work behind the magic you see on stage.  Our producers do a variety of administrative tasks involving helping to staff the show, scheduling, communication, planning, coordinating and working closely with the director, Players’ president/board of directors and designers.  It is a great challenge and extremely rewarding.  Assistant producers are also encouraged to attend producer training as they help out with all aspects of producing under the guidance of the lead producer. Producers use our detailed Producers’ Manual, which contains detailed lists of all the necessary tasks.

Stage Manager and Assistant Stage Manager

You probably have/had a job or career or manage/managed a family and as such have the basic skill set required to be a Stage Manager.  You will just need to attend one of our Stage Manager training workshops or work first under the guidance of an experienced Stage Manager. The Stage Manager is in charge of everything that happens behind the curtain.  And that’s a lot.  You will work closely with the director to prepare the rehearsal space, run rehearsals, take blocking, coordinate light, sound, and set change cues with the designers, support actors, supervise load out and load in, manage strike and call the show, among many other duties.  It’s like being an air traffic controller only with people instead of planes.  And it is as much fun as it is challenging, especially if you enjoy big-picture management.  The Assistant Stage Manager works closely with the SM and it is a good place to gain experience if you want to Stage Manage.  The Players has a small stable of excellent Stage Managers but they get tired and would welcome some new members of this elite group.

Ushers

Come to a brief training, work with some wonderful people, greet and assist the public, and get to see a show for free.  We always need ushers!

House Managers

Just as the Stage Manager is responsible for everything that happens behind the curtain, you are responsible for everything that happens in front of the curtain. Among other things, you will open and close the theatre building, supervise ushers, handle emergencies, assist patrons with special needs, manage intermissions, assure cleanliness of the lobby and restrooms, and serve as an ambassador for the Players.  You will have access to preparation and training by our experienced House Managers.  Again, if you like to be in charge or if you’re a natural manager, this is a fun job.  Your commitment is limited to show nights after you have been trained.

Lighting, Set, and Sound Designers

In these key design positions, you will design and install lighting, scenery, and sound. These are specialized positions that require some basic training but if you have an interest, the experienced designers at the Players will mentor you and support you as you learn and try your skills. If you are an experienced designer or technician, we need you now!

Light and Sound Board Operators

These are highly technical positions that receive a small stipend.  You may need to be specially trained and certified on the Audi boards, or receive special training on Players’ equipment.  Anyone with past experience running lights and/or sound can shorten the training process and we are willing to train anyone with an interest.  Lights and sound are characters in any show and we need the highest quality work from our operators.  Want a good challenge?  This is it!

VOLUNTEER FOR A COMMITTEE (Chair or Member)
