Volunteer Application

Apply to be a volunteer with 501 Commons. Opportunities for skills-based volunteering are available throughout Washington State. Join the Service Corps to use your skills to help nonprofits succeed.

501 Commons welcomes volunteers from throughout the State of Washington. We appreciate your willingness to share your time and expertise with us! We hope this is just the beginning of your engagement in meaningful projects and that you enjoy the opportunity to learn and satisfaction of service.

501 Commons service corps members are generally involved with our organization for many years. Because we match volunteers’ skills with projects as they become available, 501 Commons may not be a good option for those wishing to volunteer immediately or temporarily. Also, in consideration of our clients, we ask that volunteers be available during business hours and ensure that they are able to commit to completing a project regardless of job changes or shifting priorities.

We look forward to working with you to strengthen Washington’s communities.
