Welcome Volunteers

Thank you for your eagerness to join our mission to accompany and serve anyone in need across Cook and Lake counties. There are many meaningful volunteer opportunities available each week!

Everyone is welcome at Catholic Charities – to serve and be served. We have welcomed volunteers across the agency for generations - many who have developed deep, abiding friendships as they serve alongside others with courageous compassion, and become a part of an organization that has alleviated suffering and had a lasting, positive impact in Chicago for more than 100 years. Perhaps you have been personally impacted by systems of social inequality. You may be looking to make significant impact in our region alongside your colleagues at work or peers at school. Maybe you simply believe that, when you serve and affirm the dignity of someone in need, you are serving Christ Himself.

Whatever brought you to Catholic Charities, know that we are glad you are here. We could not do the work we do without the service and generosity of people like you!
