Become part of the foundation for our growing community by volunteering! There are so many ways to volunteer; you can support other LGBTQ individuals in need of connection with a check-in phone call through the Get Centered program, feed families in need with our Community Food Bank at The Center, and help out with other events and programs just to name a few!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The U.S. Surgeon General and the World Health Organization (WHO) have declared loneliness and social isolation a growing epidemic in our country. In response, our volunteer programs aim to address this challenge by creating opportunities for connection and community. By volunteering with us, you’ll experience a sense of increased well-being, expand your social network, and build meaningful connections that positively impact both you and the communities we serve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cOf all the volunteer organizations I\u2019ve ever given time to, The Center is, hands down, the friendliest, easiest, funniest group of folks I have had the chance to hang out and play with because I always have fun and it feels like play to me. The Center has been very generous, and flexible, and they provide valuable services to our local community that I feel really good about supporting.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI am retired and wanted to do something to give back to my community, and the Community Food Bank at The Center felt like a great opportunity to give back. It makes me feel good to know that in some small part I am helping these people\/families who otherwise would not have enough food to put on their table for themselves and their family. I like it so much, I even recruited my husband to volunteer as well!<\/span>\u201d<\/p>

“As a parent of two LGBTQ youth and resident of the East Valley, I am extremely proud to volunteer at The Center in Coachella. This space has been long overdue, and I make myself available for their events and activities. The office has not only created a safe and welcoming environment for my family, but also for other LGBTQ residents in the East Valley. My husband and I have been part of the East Valley Pride planning committee since 2018, chaperoning outdoor excursions for LGBTQ youth, and facilitating arts and crafts workshops in-person at the Coachella office and virtually during the Pandemic. I have many more ideas and projects that I would like to help create in our Center Coachella, and I am glad my input and ideas are valued and heard.”<\/p>
