Daily volunteer opportunities follow a 2-hour structure between 9am and 5pm. Volunteers have the option of working with the adoptable cats, dogs, or providing general shelter cleaning support. Morning volunteers (9am-11am) working alongside the staff to feed breakfast, clean kennels, and walking the adoptable dogs. Afternoon volunteers (11am-3pm) help provide enrichment and socialization to the adoptable animals or additional shelter cleaning and miscellaneous projects. Evening volunteers (3pm-5pm) work alongside staff to feed dinner, spot clean kennels, and walking the adoptable dogs.

Volunteers are able to self-schedule their shifts to best fit their availability. Additional applications are needed to begin onboarding (visit, nhhumane.org/programs). Please email, programs@nhhumane.org referencing VolunteerNH with any additional questions!

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.

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.

For more than 15 years, volunteers have been growing organic vegetables at our main Willing Hands Garden, hosted by Cedar Circle Farm in East Thetford, VT. We meet regularly throughout the growing season to do any and all tasks required to grow amazing produce for those struggling to put enough food on the table. We plant, weed (and weed some more!), fertilize, harvest, wash, and crate thousands of pounds of vegetables. Over the past several years, we have increased the acreage (now at multiple sites!), productivity, and variety of produce we grow—from the ordinary (peas and carrots) to slightly more exotic (ground cherries and watermelon). We provide all the necessary training and tools but frequently volunteers bring their own favorite work gloves, along with water to drink.

Our regular work sessions are: Tuesday mornings 9:00-11:00 am, Thursday afternoons 4:00-6:00 pm, and Saturdays from 9:00 am-11:00 am at our garden in East Thetford, VT.; Tuesday afternoons 4:00-6:00 pm at our garden in Norwich, VT; and Wednesday afternoons, 4:00-6:00 pm at our garden in Hanover, NH. We work (light) rain or shine, just not when it is pouring rain or thundering. We call or email if a work session is cancelled due to weather. Volunteers come when they are available, even if it is only occasionally; there are no commitment requirements, but we know you’ll have a great time with this group! To learn more, email volunteer@willinghands.org or go to our website to register as a volunteer and receive our weekly updates about our schedule of opportunities to grow food for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity!  

Seeking volunteer with retail/customer experience to assist in operations of our Thrift Store. We provide FREE clothing to many clients as well as are open to the public for sales, with all profits going to support our services. Please apply online or better still-come by and introduce yourself! We will take a tour and discuss how you might be able to assist us in sorting, stocking, and/or sales.

·      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.

To learn more, visit indianmuseum.org.
To volunteer, email info@indianmuseum.org or call our office at 603-456-2600

Come join the fun. Get some sun. Maybe meet a frog.
Help us keep MKIM looking great—one weed at a time.

The Friends Program is looking for committed volunteers to provide a safe place for the youth in the greater Concord area to learn and grow. No education or training is required, just a passion for helping children and being a dependable adult that they can trust. Mentors would be matched with kids based on similar interests and backgrounds to ensure the health of the match and to make getting to know each other easier. Matches would meet at least once a week for a total of 2-4 hours a week with regular check ins from staff to see how things are going for both the mentee and mentor. We will be there every step of the way to support both mentor and mentee and make sure that the match is doing well. Perspective candidates would come in for an interview and need to pass a driving record search, criminal background check, and not have any past convictions relating to child abuse or violence. After one year of the match, mentors and mentees can sign a renewal agreement if they would like to continue meeting through the program.

In therapeutic riding the leader is responsible for walking with and guiding the horse during the session. The leader is always aware of the entire team and directions given by all. The leader is asked to arrive 10-15 minutes early to check for last minute changes, get out necessary tack and prepare the horse for the lesson.  Previous horse experience is required.

PMHS-CV is looking for volunteers to help with our various community engagement and humane education programs! Programs include our reading program (kids read to our shelter animals), birthday parties, movie nights w/ animals, educational presentations, and more. Most programs take place at our shelter.

If you are interested in volunteering for any of our community engagement programs, please email communityengagement@popememorialcvhs.org. Thank you!

We are actively searching for volunteers to join our wonderful crew! From our barn chore volunteers, we need help measuring grain, feeding hay, turning out horses, scooping stalls, and other necessary tasks in keeping our herd of therapy horses (and donkey!) cared for. This position would ask volunteers to commit about three hours each week to help us achieve our mission. Training is provided!

Lesson Assistant Volunteers are typically seen in the barn and arena helping with our lesson horses and students. Volunteers will work alongside students as they learn to brush and tack horse, or will prepare horses prior to lessons. Then, volunteers join students in the riding arena as needed to assist our BITS lesson instructors. We need reliable volunteers to ensure each of our kiddos' lessons are a success! Training is provided, but horse experience is always a plus!

If you are handy with tools and interested in helping maintain our grounds, we always need help keeping up with repairs around the farm! Painting fences, fixing gates, building arena elements, and many other projects are frequent at BITS. Come join our team!

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)

Our standing committees work year-round and are critical to our work.  Committee Chair’s terms run from July 1 to June 30, but committee members can be added at any time.  Would you be interested in chairing a committee or serving as a member?  Check out this list of committees and contact us to learn more.

Bayada Hospice Volunteer Description

Summary:

Virtual Volunteers assist Bayada staff with families who have a loved one in hospice care. We have many ways that you can help change a family’s life.

Specific Duties and Responsibilities may include:

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.

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.

Bear-Paw relies on the volunteer efforts of people like you to get the job done! Volunteers staff our board and committees, support our special events, and help with other Bear-Paw activities. These are just some of the opportunities available to volunteers. We can tailor jobs to fit your skills and time-constraints. Training can be provided when necessary. Many people volunteer their time each year to Bear-Paw and we hope you can be one of them.
Our Membership Development, Outreach and Education, and Land Protection Committees almost always need volunteers. Here's a brief description of each committee:

Membership Development Committee (MDC) – The MD Committee oversees the fundraising and constituency building programs of Bear-Paw. "Constituency building" doesn't just mean asking for money - it means engaging with people in our community through media outreach, special events, and personal connections. The Membership Development Committee helps develop fundraising policies for the board, create the annual development plan, oversee fund raising strategies, train the board in fundraising practices, and evaluate fundraising campaigns. Meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of each month at 5:00 pm.

Outreach and Education Committee (OEC) – The OE Committee oversees the education and outreach programs of Bear-Paw. We put on programs and develop materials for kids and adults to help them connect to the natural world. The Outreach and Education Committee helps develop, implement, and evaluate all of the OE programs (presentations, workshops, and field trips; brochures, newsletters and other printed material, web site, etc.). Meetings are held on the 1st Monday of each month at 4:30 pm.

Land Protection and Stewardship Committee (LPC) – The LP Committee oversees the land protection activities of Bear-Paw. We visit conserved properties and potential new conservation project sites and engage with landowners and volunteers on conservation and stewardship topics. The Land Protection Committee also provides recommendations to the board for easements, gifts, and land purchases in the Bear-Paw member communities. The Committee also oversees the annual monitoring of all easements held by Bear-Paw. Meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of the month at 4:30 pm.

A great way to get involved is to attend a Board or Committee meeting to see what’s going on – contact the office at info@bear-paw.org or 463-9400 to see when the next meetings are scheduled! 

Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity is seeking a reliable and organized Office Administrator to support the day-to-day administrative operations of our office. This part-time position is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a mission-driven environment and has strong attention to detail, communication, and organizational skills.

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.

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.

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.

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. Your service directly supports the dignity and care we strive to offer every woman who walks through our doors. Flexible scheduling is available; a heart for service is essential.

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. They walk through the whole process with them, which includes but is not limited to: options education, parenting classes, and post abortion healing. The most important aspect of our work is offering compassionate support and reflecting the love of Jesus. 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. The primary focus is on seeing those prisoners with an acute need for human contact -- those prisoners without regular visits, those serving long sentences who are far from home, those in solitary confinement and on death row, and those who are frequently transferred from prison to prison. PVS visitors let the prisoners set the agenda for what they discuss.

This listing is for volunteers that are interested in visiting at FCI Berlin, a federal correctional institution serving male offenders in Berlin, New Hampshire.

Speakers Bureau Volunteers educate AARP members and the public on a variety of topics from safely aging in place, to preparing to become a caregiver, as well as the fraud, and leading a brain-healthy lifestyle. If you are more comfortable behind the scenes, we have roles for you too!

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:

Education Ambassadors support our Youth Outreach Advocates with prevention and education within the community. Thrive works with high schools and higher education throughout Merrimack County. 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)

Volunteer Support Group Advocate Service Description 2025

Volunteer Support Group Advocates will co-facilitate support groups for individuals impacted by domestic and sexual violence in Merrimack County.

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.
