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 and more than two million others nationally - working collectively throughout the U.S. 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, typically between 9:30 am and 12 pm can help your neighbors remain healthy and live independently at home.

We currently have a need for 2 drivers on Wednesdays, and one driver on Thursdays.

Overview:
Help create a warm, welcoming environment by ensuring the coffee and snack area is clean, stocked, and ready for members to enjoy. Kitchen Volunteers support daily hospitality at the Center—offering a smile along with a fresh cup of coffee.

One or more 1.5-hour shifts per week is appreciated. Volunteers are welcome to choose a regular time that fits their schedule.

Key Responsibilities:

Brew coffee and set out snacks for members

Wipe down counters 

Wash, dry, and put away dishes as needed

Keep kitchen and serving area tidy and welcoming

Refill supplies and notify staff when items are running low

Follow basic food safety and cleanliness guidelines

Overview:
The Food Pantry Coordinator ensures the smooth, consistent operation of the Center’s food pantry program. This volunteer plays a lead role in coordinating pantry-related tasks—food pick-up and stocking, managing food orders and inventory, scheduling weekly pantry volunteers, and serving as the back-up operator in the absence of volunteers. The coordinator ensures accurate data collection and timely reporting to both internal staff and external partners, helping the pantry remain well-stocked, compliant, and responsive to the needs of the community.

ACTS - Assistance Canine Training Services raises and trains service dogs for people with mobility disabilities and for facilities that use dogs for animal assisted therapy. ACTS is a volunteer driven organization and at the center of the program are the puppy raisers.

All weekly required puppy raiser trainings are held at Telling Tails Training Center, Center Conway, NH or in the greater Mount Washington Valley (North Conway).  All puppy raisers must attend these trainings.

Short Term Puppy Raising

2-6 month time commitment

Generally, paired with a puppy that is ~8-10 weeks old

Possibility to become full term puppy raiser

Long Term Puppy Raising

18-24 month time commitment, varies depending on age of dog when paired

Puppy raisers commit up to two years to the socialization and training of a puppy. They generally receive puppies at the age of eight weeks, although occasionally puppy raisers may receive older puppies. The commitment involves a willingness to learn, spend time in training classes, spend time socializing the puppy in public places, and a great deal of heart.

Puppies live in puppy raiser homes as a part of the family. They must learn how to behave both at home and out in public. Training and socialization are very important and raisers must be willing to work with puppies using the guidelines set forth by ACTS.

We consider puppy raising to be not only an individual endeavor, but also a group project. We practice in group classes and puppy raisers are encouraged to enjoy the company and assistance of other raisers by practicing in teams or in small groups.  Each ACTS volunteer is considered an important part of every graduating team whether they were the puppy raiser or not. Everyone is invited to attend graduation and celebrate the teams that complete their training.

Sometimes our puppies let us know that they are not suited for service dog or facility therapy dog work, in which case they are placed as either as Detection Dogs (explosive, narcotics, electronics or arson) or Dream Dogs (adoptable pet dogs) with appropriate families. Our ACTS family is proud of all of our dogs and we celebrate the placement of each of them.

Puppy raising can be one of the most fulfilling volunteer opportunities available. Seeing how the life of an individual can be changed by a dog is an amazing experience. In addition to the joy that is seen in the end-product, puppy raisers grow and learn in their dog training skills. They create new and often long-lasting friendships. They meet and work with some wonderful dogs. And finally, there is that feeling that can only come from giving of yourself and your time to others.

Puppy raisers must be at least 15 years of age.

No prior experience is required. We provide on the job training!

Puppy raisers are NOT responsible for expenses relating to dog food, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and veterinary care.

Being independent is a matter of pride for many of our elderly and disabled individuals. Yet, the basic need of obtaining food can sometimes be difficult to attain. Volunteers can assist our elderly recipients by transporting them to the store, reading labels, reaching items or ensuring correct money transactions. In some instances, the volunteers may do the shopping for the individual because they are unable.  All volunteers must go through an application process that does require reference checks. For those considering taking a person to the store a driver's license and active vehicle insurance is required.

Getting to medical appointments is critical for the elderly and disabled. Offering your time, once a week, for a couple of hours can ensure that these critical appointments are covered. Rides occur weekdays only. Community Caregivers of Greater Derry assists the elderly and disabled maintain independence and quality of life in their homes.  Community Caregivers of Greater Derry has an application process, which includes reference checks. Volunteers will also be requested to supply a driver's license and active vehicle insurance.

For years many of our elderly and disabled recipients have taken pride in maintaining their homes. Now, because of physical frailty or illnesses they cannot accomplish even the simplest tasks. Volunteers can help with items such as cleaning counter areas, vacuuming, dusting, and laundry. Many combine visiting with the person while doing their tasks. Caregivers seeks to help those who have difficulty.  All volunteers are asked to complete an application process that does involve reference checks. Knowledge of any disability that might affect ability to perform service would be helpful.

Think of hearing history from someone who has lived it! Many of our elderly recipients have lived through and been exposed to many experiences in their lives. Sharing these memories or other enjoyable activities is often the highlight of their day or sometimes even their week. Volunteers can offer a couple of hours a week reading, helping write cards, or playing cards or board games. All volunteers are asked to complete an application process that involves reference checks.

Part of what we due at Caregivers is to help the elderly and disabled live safely in their homes. Sometimes that means helping with small projects like weatherization, changing light bulbs, etc...but sometimes they do not have the means to fix large problems such as plumbing work, rook work and electrical problems. We need handy volunteers that have a couple hours a month to assist us. Volunteers must be over the age of 21. You must list two personal reference and complete our orientation process. Tradesmen are encouraged to participate.

Our Loaner's Closet for Durable Medical Equipment repurposes donated equipment to those in need.  Often times the items that are donated need a little TLC before they can be cleaned, sanitize and sourced out again.

We need a couple handy guys to come in a couple times a month to help fix equipment.

Our Membership Development, Outreach and Education, and Land Protection Committees almost always need volunteers. Here's a brief description of each committee:

Do you love being outdoors and want to help protect the land in your community? Join Bear-Paw Regional Greenways as a Volunteer Easement Monitor and play a hands-on role in caring for permanently conserved forests, farms, and wildlife habitat across southeastern New Hampshire.

Bear-Paw works with landowners to protect private properties through conservation easements—legal agreements that ensure land stays undeveloped while remaining in private hands. These easements need to be monitored annually, and volunteers are a key part of that effort.

As a monitor, you’ll be assigned one or more conserved properties to visit between July and October. Your role includes walking the land, observing and photographing current conditions, and submitting a brief report. Before your visit, you’ll review the easement deed and property maps, reach out to the landowner to invite them along if they wish, and prepare for a safe outing in the field. No prior experience is needed—Bear-Paw provides all the training, resources, and support to help you succeed.

Time commitment: 3–5 hours per property, once a year

Training: Two required free trainings (classroom + field) held in July, then you'll be paired up with a mentor before taking on a property of your own

Experience needed: None! Just an interest in conservation and the outdoors

Support: All materials and guidance provided by Bear-Paw staff

Volunteers help monitor properties across the Bear-Paw region, which includes the New Hampshire towns of Allenstown, Barnstead, Candia, Deerfield, Epsom, Hooksett, Northwood, Nottingham, Pittsfield, Raymond, and Strafford.

Whether you’re looking to gain field experience, give back to your community, or simply explore beautiful conserved lands, volunteering as a monitor is a meaningful and rewarding way to get involved.

Protect the land. Get outside. Make a difference with Bear-Paw.

Please note: Monitoring visits often involve walking off-trail through woods, fields, and uneven terrain. Many property boundaries are not marked trails, so volunteers should be comfortable navigating through natural, and sometimes challenging, landscapes.

The Jaffrey Civic Center is looking for individuals interested in greeting guests to the center. These volunteers are our friendly faces and help explain information about exhibits and events to visitors.

Open doors for adults in our community by helping them build their basic skills in reading, writing, math, or learning English as a Second Language.

After meeting with the Volunteer Coordinator to learn basic teaching skills, you will be matched with a student who meets your availability and teaching interests. Teaching materials and on-going support are provided. Join our amazing group of volunteers and make a difference in your student's life and in your own!

DCYF’s Community Connection Program is seeking to recruit and train adult volunteers to serve as Mentors for youth in foster care, ages 14 and up.

Mentors help youth believe they can create a future they want.  They model positive relationship skills and help their mentees strengthen communication skills.  A mentor is an experienced, caring and trusted adult advisor who is willing to listen to our youth and guide them through challenges.  In so doing, mentors can help reduce the risk factors that could lead to negative outcomes such as high school drop-out or substance abuse, thus strengthening our communities.

We want our youth in foster care to build meaningful adult connections and confidence in trusting others.  So we ask mentors for a year-long commitment of 4 hours per month.

A SCORE mentor is an adviser who helps individuals and small businesses reach their goals. Mentors provide free business advice and education to aspiring entrepreneurs and existing business owners. 

As a mentor, you’ll help clients solve problems, make businesses more efficient, and assist with developing long-term business plans. Additionally, you may discover new sources of insight and knowledge to help your own business and leadership style. Teaching others how to manage people or projects, along with illustrating ways to succeed in other aspects of business, could inspire you to continue with your own professional growth-all of this while helping your local community.

The ideal mentor is empathetic, flexible, and loves connecting people to the right resources. Mentors often have significant experience within their field, excellent communication skills, and the ability to dedicate a few hours a week.

Apply today if you have expertise in any business topic, including but not limited to marketing, finance and accounting, management, technology, strategy, websites, etc.

SCORE mentoring can be done in-person, virtually via Zoom or other online video platform, phone or email.

SCORE is a nonprofit resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration that helps aspiring and existing entrepreneurs succeed. Every year, our volunteers help thousands of entrepreneurs achieve their dreams of starting small businesses and achieving new levels of success. Volunteering is a way for you to give back, network with business experts, and share your knowledge. Join SCORE today to make a meaningful difference in your local economy.

The Bedford (NH) Lions are always looking for volunteers to help with sorting and delivering the plastic bags we collect from the Bedford Transfer Center.  We need your help! We now have 10 boxes that fill up in 3-4 days! 

The bags are sent to the Trex company who turns them into community benches.  Trex works with us to promote the importance of recycling through their NexTrex® program. In 2022, Trex helped more than 3,300 community groups (including the Bedford Lions) recycle nearly 2 million pounds of plastic film that was KEPT OUT OF A LANDFILL!

Won't you help us?

We are looking for an organized individual to help our clients (and staff) by tracking and filing completed applications, documenting services that have been provided, and generally assisting in administrative functions to support the case management that is underway to get our clients housed!  If you have a knack for keeping things running smoothly- we could use you here at CCEH's Resource Center.

CCEH is looking for energetic and outgoing people in the Concord area, to connect with our recently housed clients to assist them in integrating into the city. Once in new housing situations, most of our clients are lonely and unsure about how to become part of their community. Our hope is that with some personal connections, social visits, introductions to churches, social groups, public events and help with accessing local resources, our clients will feel valued and accepted in their new community. Transportation may be necessary. Our long term goal is keep them stably housed on a permanent basis. Are you that special someone?

We are looking for volunteers to join our committees for Early Care and Education, Event and Programs, Policy and Advocacy, and Maternal Health. These committees will work on policies, advocacy, program discussion, and research on various topics. This is a monthly commitment.

We are looking for 3-5 individuals to commit working with our youth division for one year, including supervising meetings, planning, and advocacy.

Volunteer to work our 6th Annual Gala in Portsmouth NH. Volunteers will receive 1 free ticket to the events. We are asking for help to set up the event and to tear down the event the same night.

·      Like being outside more than being on Zoom

·      Think pulling invasive plants is oddly satisfying

·      Have mowing experience

·      Want to help a one-of-a-kind museum stay beautiful and welcoming

The work is rewarding and varied: improving paths through our beloved Medicine Woods (in fact, we’re going to build a new Accessible Trail this year), caring for our 60-species Arboretum, planting native greenery, and keeping nature from going too “wild kingdom.”

Have pruning shears or a chainsaw? You’ll be our hero.
No equipment but willing hands and good humor? Also heroic.

We mostly get our hands dirty between April and October, but we do sneak in a few planning meetings during the colder months (preferably indoors and near snacks). Whether you can pitch in regularly or just now and then, we’d love to have you on the team.

Join our mission to support women and families by volunteering as a cleaner at Care Women's Center. As a Volunteer Cleaner, you’ll help maintain a clean, welcoming, and safe environment for clients and staff by assisting with light cleaning tasks such as vacuuming, dusting, sanitizing surfaces, and tidying shared spaces.

Client Advocates are essential to Care Women's Center's service to our community in Concord! Our volunteer advocates work one-on-one with women and men facing unplanned or crisis pregnancies.

It isn't to make a decision for them or judge their circumstances, but rather to come alongside those facing an unplanned pregnancy. If you have experience working with people, or have faced a crisis pregnancy yourself and want to help make a difference in someone's life, call us at (603) 224-7477 or visit cwcfriends.com.

Prisoner Visitation and Support (PVS) is the only organization authorized by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Defense to visit any prisoner in the Federal and Military prison systems.

PVS visitors let the prisoners set the agenda for what they discuss.

Want to make a difference? When you volunteer at Thrive Survivor Support Center, the effect on you may be as great as the impact you have on survivors. Volunteers are integral to Thrive and play a critical role in all aspects of our organization! We appreciate the many volunteers who dedicate their skills, passion and expertise to help us support survivors of violence and the Merrimack County community.

As an Ambassador Volunteer, you will serve as representatives of Thrive during outreach, education, and fundraising events. Ambassador Volunteers play a vital role in advancing our prevention education programs and spreading our mission during community events like Market Days, Franklin Fall Fest, and Walk a Mile in Their Shoes. All Ambassadors are required to complete a short training in order to be properly prepared for potential questions/scenarios while volunteering with Thrive.

Outreach Ambassadors help Thrive build community awareness about violence and educate through prevention! Outreach is essential to our mission because it spreads the word that survivors and those who love them are not alone, it educates the community that domestic and sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking are a community issue, and it builds a sense of Thrive as a resource to the members of our community including law enforcement and other social services.

In this role, you will talk to those interested in learning more about our mission and getting involved with Thrive. Opportunities include representing Thrive at resource tables at community events and fairs, distributing targeted outreach material in a variety of ways, gathering information for potential volunteers, donors, and other supporters, assistance with fundraising events, and more!

Skills & Experience Needed:

Prevention education play a unique role-there is an impact on the children, the parents, the teachers and the schools as a whole.

Skills & Experience Needed:

Fundraising Ambassadors are a vital part of the successful fundraising events that Thrive NH hosts. Activities such as event planning are great options for a shorter-term opportunity that has a substantial impact on survivors. This can include participation in large events such as Walk a Mile in Their Shoes or fundraising appeals to current constituents with our twice-yearly mail stuffing event.

Skills & Experience Needed:

Do you want to help support those who support survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Merrimack County? Do you enjoy tidying up and other basic office tasks? This opportunity may be for you! Thrive Survivor Support Center is looking to invite a volunteer to help out at our office to assist with the day to day housekeeping tasks.

Time Commitment: 5-10 hours per week during business hours (8:30am-4:30pm)

Key Responsibilities:

Clear background check and sex offender registry check needed in order to move forward. 

Given the environment of this service role, volunteer must be outside of 18-24 month timeframe of most recent activation due to past related trauma and/or 18-24 months post receiving services from Thrive NH.

Volunteer Support Group Advocate Service Description 2025

Service Responsibilities:

Qualifications:

Time Commitment:

Want to make a difference? When you volunteer at Thrive Survivor Support Center, the effect on you may be as great as the impact you have on survivors. As a volunteer advocate, you will work directly with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking, providing crucial support in their strongest moments. Volunteer advocates are trained to connect the survivor to resources, assist with safety planning process, and provide emotional support to assure the client they are not alone.  

In the volunteer advocate role, you will be required to complete a 30-hour training that will prepare you to provide confidential advocacy and support. You are not required to have any previous training in crisis work, only a strong desire to help those in need of services and passion for making a difference for survivors. The 30-hour training includes self-paced modules, synchronous Zoom sessions, and an in person session to review and complete onboarding paperwork. Trainings are scheduled as needed. 

Volunteer advocates will be available on an on-call basis. Volunteering for the hotline is a remote opportunity that can be done from your home or wherever you may be, as long as you have access to a private space to provide all of your attention to the survivor.

Hotline shifts are available from 7pm-7am Mon-Sun, 7a-7p Sat-Sun, and 4p-7p Mon-Fri. While shifts are available during these times, it is not required for volunteers to sign up for the entire 12 hours.

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.

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!

**Currently, we have a specific need on Wednesdays.**
