Frequently Asked Questions

The first step is to fill out our volunteer application. Staff will get in touch with you to schedule your service. If you have any questions, please send an email to outreach@connectionsifs.org.
Is there minimum age to volunteer at Connections?
We have a variety of opportunities available for families or groups with children. All volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Can groups volunteer?

What is the time commitment for volunteering?
Depending on the area you would like to volunteer in, the schedule will vary. You can provide a meal or donate items at your own availability, or we can work with you to schedule a project. Other volunteer roles, like tutoring or donation sorting, would require a longer commitment.
