Volunteer

Volunteering provides the opportunity to help people and worthy organizations in the region, helping you to grow and develop as a person and as a professional. Volunteer opportunities are a great way to meet new people, those who share your interests and concerns, and network and make new friends. When committing to be a volunteer, you have the ability to choose what really interests you and who (or what) is most deserving of your time.

Check back often to learn more about upcoming volunteer opportunities offered through the members of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership including the American Cancer Society, Cradle Beach Camp, Inc., Erie County SPCA, Food Bank of Western New York, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, The Salvation Army and the Zoological Society of Buffalo, Inc. among others!

Build Your Community- and Your Resume!

Looking for a volunteer experience? Build your resume and sharpen your public speaking and group management skills by volunteering for Junior Achievement of WNY! When you work with a JA school, you are changing the lives of children, as well as making a difference in the community in which you live or work.
Junior Achievement is a non-profit organization that places volunteers in local classrooms to help students learn about business and the importance of staying in school. JA programs focus strongly on financial literacy, entrepreneurship and work readiness. JA staff provide training, lesson plans, materials and support to guide participants through the volunteer experience. Volunteers choose the grade level and subject matter, and are placed in a classroom that is close to home or work. The time commitment is minimal – less than an hour for five to eight weeks – but the impact is monumental!
To learn more about Junior Achievement, visit http://wny.ja.org or contact Alycia Ivancie at 716-853-1381 x15 or Shannon Bloomquist, x16.
