About National Volunteer Week

National Volunteer Week is the perfect time to give back and support the causes that make our community stronger. It’s your opportunity to find local nonprofits and schools that need extra hands right now. It’s a fun and easy way for individuals, families, and businesses to jump in and make a difference.

You can also find ways to help all week long through Activate Good’s volunteer opportunity database. In 2025, Activate Good helped create 34,000+ volunteer connections with 550 nonprofits and schools across the Triangle. Whether you join one of our projects or explore opportunities in the database, it only takes one small action to create a ripple of good in our community.
