If you want to make a difference in a child’s life, we need YOU! Our volunteers assist students in grades 1-6 with school assignments and other academics, including reading, writing, and math. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and virtual school, there are unprecedented levels of demand for educational tutoring assistance. Most of our students do not speak English at home and are at heightened risk of falling below their grade level.

We know from 28+ years that the power of our volunteer-driven program makes a real and lasting difference in our student’s lives by setting them up for success in high school and beyond. As a Vecinos Unidos Volunteer, you can be a part of that journey.

Our organization is accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year! Commitment is desired one day a week for a fall or spring semester. The program is located at the Herndon Neighborhood Resource Center (1086 Elden St., Herndon, VA 20170). We are seeking Volunteers to join us 4:30-6:00 pm once a week on a dedicated day: Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. We have a wait list of students and need your help. Visit our website at www.vecinosunidos.org to apply now!

Are you good at organizing and/or sorting? Do you have some free time on Sunday afternoons?  

Then join us for a hands-on volunteer day where we turn generous clothing donations into ready-to-use resources for children and youth in need. Volunteers will help sort through recent donations, selecting high-quality items to keep for distribution and setting aside pieces that can be redirected elsewhere. Together, we’ll ensure that every child we serve receives clean, well-fitting, and season-appropriate clothing—packed with care and dignity.

No special skills required—just a willingness to roll up your sleeves and make a difference!

Typically we sort every other Sunday after noon. To make sure, check out our calendar on our website

Wanted:  Board Member with Focus on Fundraising & Community Networking 

Legacy Farms maintains a working board of directors to provide quarterly review, feedback, and guidance to the organization. In addition, each member takes a leadership role in their field of expertise to ensure that initiatives are fulfilled in between quarterly meetings. 

Legacy Farms is seeking board members with an interest in leading initiatives for effective Fundraising and Community Networking. 

This includes seeking out community leaders interested in supporting Legacy Farms’ mission, developing and maintaining good relationships with contacts, seeking corporate sponsorships, and working with the Executive Director to pursue grant funding. It may also include fundraising event coordination, either online or in person, depending on the Board Member’s availability and areas of interest and enthusiasm. 

Legacy Farms holds board meetings four times a year, usually on a Saturday or Sunday of the following months (unless otherwise scheduled): June, September, December, March. Board meetings last approximately two hours to provide oversight and review of progress, solve organizational challenges, set or revise goals, and hear about subcommittee progress and needs. 

About Legacy Farms: Legacy Farms is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, established in 2012. We offer apprenticeship-style learning and job opportunities in a neurodiverse community of individuals preparing for college, learning a trade, or seeking internships to further their education. 

We are a neurodiverse team of mentors, apprentices, college students, community members and service organization volunteers all working together! Our current garden locations are at Fabbioli Cellars and Temple Hall Regional Park in Leesburg, Virginia. 

What is Neurodiversity? Neurodiversity is a concept where neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation. These differences can include those labeled with Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, Asperger, Autistic Spectrum, Tourette Syndrome, and others. 

How We Fulfill Our Mission Apprentices are hired for eight-week paid contract positions to perform essential tasks in the gardens and on landscaping assignments. Mentors serve as coaches, providing guidance on job skills, teamwork, social awareness, and self-advocacy. Apprentices may also be hired for special projects that develop their talents and benefit the organization’s objectives, including assignments for design, writing, videography for social media, distributor relationship development, event/project coordination, etc. 

We partner with Lightfoot Restaurant, Roots to Rise, Weird Brothers, Simply Be and other local businesses to deliver specialty-cut flowers. And we work closely with selected business partners to develop job placement options. We also partner with The New Ag School, PosAbilities Academy, Embark Center to develop innovative programming and expanded learning opportunities.

Legacy Farms is a small non-profit with an educational garden at Temple Hall Regional Park and Fabbioli Cellars, just outside of Leesburg. Our neurodiverse team of staff, mentors, and apprentices grows and delivers specialty-cut flowers to area businesses and food pantries. This specific role will work with apprentices in the garden on-site to develop work training skills and job experience.

Do you have a background in special education, social work, therapies, OR do you have experience in gardening and a desire to support neurodivergent individuals? Are you available to work outside 7-14 hours per week, coaching up to four neurodivergent apprentices seeking to develop their job skills, self-awareness, and ability to self-advocate in future employment positions?

Growing Together, our mentor/apprentice program, is focused on job skills training, mentoring, and facilitating increased personal development for neurodivergent individuals ages 16+. Our core clientele includes neurodivergent individuals with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and anxiety – neurotypes that vary from perceived norms and affect an individual’s ability to achieve employment and independence in the current job market.

We hire mentors for a variety of job contracts, structured around a clearly designed 7-step framework. Mentors provide job coaching for neurodivergent individuals to introduce work skills, help develop personal awareness, and address specific challenges each individual has experienced in getting and keeping a job.

This is an opportunity to give back to your community while increasing your skills in working with neurodiverse individuals and enjoying a calm garden environment. You do not need gardening experience! You do need patience, calm communication skills, and understanding of the executive function, self-regulation, and self-awareness challenges and gifts associated with neurodiversity. We prioritize a mindful, relationally based work environment where communication is key to learning and self-development. We welcome challenges and setbacks as learning opportunities. We believe that a balanced, well-regulated nervous system is the first step in increasing executive function, organizational, and emotional regulation on the job.

Do you like to help people? We are looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate and comfortable helping others. It is not a big-time commitment, and you would be making a difference in the life of someone who needs extra support in their job. This would be helping people with disabilities.

Please contact us for more information. 

The Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital welcomes volunteers from the community to join us in support of the Riverside Gift Shop at Inova Loudoun Hospital, located at 44045 Riverside Parkway in Leesburg. Are you someone who enjoys interacting with the public? If so, we have an immediate need for volunteers to staff the front register. The shop carries everything from women’s wear, lotions, fragrances, home décor and seasonal items all artfully displayed. And of course, we sell floral arrangements, balloons and baby gifts for those visiting patients at the hospital. There are light bagging duties associated with work at the front register and requisite flu and other vaccinations associated with volunteering in a hospital.

We're looking for someone to lead an in-person guitar class or workshop between the hours of 10 and 3, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. If you enjoy spending time with kids and teens and sharing your love of music and guitar, we'd love to have you!

Do you LOVE to garden but have little space to do so?  Would you like to make an impact in your local community and share your passion with others? Then this opportunity may be for you. Second Star Farm and Wildlife Habitat is seeking an experienced gardener (or team of gardeners) to help lead and maintain an organic vegetable and herb garden during the 2026 growing season.  Our farm would provide a stipend for site prep and seeds, and would help the lead gardener (that's you!) turn a small plot of the property into a community garden. While the lead gardener/s would be the primary individual/s responsible for maintenance of this garden, volunteers are available on a pre-arranged basis to help with garden care and harvest. The head gardener (or gardeners if you have a friend/associate/partner interested in sharing this project) would receive up to 50% of the produce while the remaining harvest would be donated to the Dulles South Food Pantry and other community members in need.   

We are also seeking individuals who can support youth-oriented workshops on gardening, pollination, and the impacts of agriculture (both good and bad) on local ecosystems. Minimal time commitments are needed for these workshops, which are organized on an ad hoc basis, typically lasting only 1-2 hours over a pre-scheduled weekend.

Tuesday’s Children is actively recruiting volunteer adult mentors for our youth mentoring program, established exclusively for children and siblings of fallen military service members. This custom-designed program fills the gaps in services offered to families of the fallen with children 6-18 years old. Mentors can offer advice, share life experiences, help a young person navigate challenges, and have fun! So many mentors share that their mentoring relationship changed their life for the better, just as much as they changed the life of a child.

Volunteers are recruited, screened, trained, and managed/supervised by professional staff to safeguard that every adult is committed and qualified to play an active role in the healing of a child. Matches between a mentor and a child are made based on common interests, personality traits and similar schedules and intended to last a year or longer.

We currently need English instructors in Purcellville, Leesburg, Ashburn, Sterling, Cascades, and Gum Springs.

Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers works with the elderly and disabled throughout Loudoun County.  

At Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers, we provide medical rides to some of the counties medically fragile residents. Several of our Care Receivers need rides to dialysis, chemo and radiation appointments.  We also have some Care Receivers who must go for medical appointments, such as physical therapy, in order to prepare for a life-saving surgery such as mass removal or an organ transplant. Still others may need to continue ongoing care in order to preserve eyesight and similar appointments that will allow them to keep their independence longer. We are anxiously looking for compassionate volunteers to provide these rides to our Care Receivers. 

If this sounds like a task for you, please don't hesitate to contact us as we are eager and grateful to have you join our volunteer family!

Join us on our wheelchair assisted transportation van to keep our care receivers company while helping get them to and from medical appointments. No driving, just riding along to help get people from point A to point B.

Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers is a volunteer based organization that provides free services to some of the most vulnerable people in the county. Most of our Care Receivers are shut-ins. If they aren't shut-ins, it is seldom that they get to socialize or go out, save a doctor's appointment or a rare, special event. 

One of the services we provide to our Care Receivers is food delivery. Several of our Care Receivers are both lonely and hungry. Most live all alone and a few of them are families. Some of the families have young children who are being raised by a grandparent or grandparents. Each time you deliver food to one of our Care Receivers, you are providing nutritious food to them, but, you are also providing them with much needed companionship and hope. If not for your deliveries of food, our Care Receivers wouldn't be able to eat proper meals, if at all. All of these gifts you are giving are huge for our Care Receivers, and for us, too! With your help, we keep our Care Receivers going and because of you, we can continue to fulfill our mission. 

We are affiliated with Dulles South Food Pantry and Loudoun Hunger Relief. This means you can serve both the East and West side of Loudoun County and choose which pantry would be more convenient for you to deliver from. Flexibility is just one of the benefits we offer our volunteers

We look forward to meeting with you and providing you with more details about the open positions and opportunities we have for you! 

Based on your own schedule! Help with minor home repairs, mowing, yard work, or snow shoveling from our web-based system.  

 Most appointments are flexible and take place weekdays and during daytime hours.  We have some weekend appointments as well.

There is no minimum weekly requirement of number of appointments or number of hours served. 

We are looking for friendly, reliable volunteers who have skills in carpentry and property maintenance. 

Appointment times vary from one to several hours.

Orientation and training is provided.  Volunteer application and background check is required.  

Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers works with the elderly and disabled of Loudoun County. These are two groups who have been categorized as vulnerable by the CDC, WHO and other organizations. Due to the current restrictions our Care Receivers are facing, most have been ordered to stay home and wait until it has been deemed safe to go out again. This means many of our senior Care Receivers and Disabled Care Receivers with compromised immune systems cannot leave their homes to shop for necessities like food, prescriptions, toiletries and more.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO REQUIRE A BACKGROUND CHECK FOR ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS. This will be done at no cost to you and we will be happy to provide you a copy of the report for your records.  

If this sounds like a task you feel comfortable assisting with, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are eager and grateful to have you join our volunteer family!

We provide services to elderly and disabled Loudoun County residents who may be unable to drive and are restricted to their homes due to age or health.  

We are looking for volunteers to visit clients once a week for 45 minutes to an hour and cheer them up.  You might play chess, cards, or take a walk with a client.  Or you might just sit and talk with the client.  

Volunteers who are social, friendly, outgoing, and who like interacting on a personal level, this is for you.  Appointments are usually during the day and during the week.  You pick up appointments on our friendly web based system.

There is no minimum weekly requirement of number of hours required.

Orientation and training is provided.  Volunteer application and background check is required.  

We have been providing extra items for our low income elderly and disabled Care Receivers, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, coffee, prescriptions, cleaning supplies, etc. We have been able to do this for the last couple of months using the supply of gift cards we had in our office. In the last few weeks, the need for these items has steadily increased and we would like to continue to do be able to provide these extra necessities for our Care Receivers.

In order to continue to shop for them, we will need additional gift cards. We are requesting gift card donations to the following stores in $20 amounts:

Come help us have a good time! Insight Memory Care Center (IMCC) is looking for volunteers to help assist with a variety of fun, therapeutic activities for people in the early stages of dementia. Assist program staff with activities such as brain games, art, and outdoor walks, encouraging and supporting the group members to participate, assist with serving and cleaning up coffee/lunch, etc. Volunteers strictly help with recreational activities, and do not assist with personal care. 

This program meets Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:00am-3:00pm. Volunteers shall commit to volunteer at least four (4) hours each week for at least six (6) months on a consistent schedule. 

Volunteers must attend a mandatory orientation that includes an overview of neurodegenerative diseases, common behaviors, communication techniques, and person-centered care. A negative TB test within 30 days of your volunteer start date and consent to a criminal background check is required.

This orientation is specific to those volunteers who want to volunteer at the Lab during Field Trips during the week (Monday-Friday) and want to work directly with children and staff, creating great experiences for them. If this describes you, there are a few requirements you must meet:

- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You will be required to undergo a background check, at our expense.
- You must commit to volunteering with the Children’s Science Center for 10 hours in your first year (4 field trips).

Field trip volunteer orientation is designed to equip volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to support students during their visit. The orientation consists of two main parts:

Presentation in the Garage: Volunteers will start by gathering in the garage for a presentation. During this session, they will learn about the organization's mission, history, and overall goals. This portion aims to provide a solid understanding of the organization's background and the context in which they will be working.

Field Trip Experience: The second part of the orientation involves an actual field trip experience. Volunteers will be assigned to groups of students and will rotate through various experience areas within the lab. This hands-on session helps volunteers become familiar with the different stations and activities that students will engage in, ensuring they are well-prepared to guide and assist throughout the field trip.

Overall, the orientation is designed to blend informative learning with practical experience, ensuring that volunteers are both knowledgeable and comfortable in their roles.

Field Trips are in the mornings Monday-Friday at the Children's Science Center Lab during the school year, except for some school holidays.

The volunteer shift is 2.5 hours, either from 9:30am-12:00pm, or 10:00am-12:30pm. 

Field Trips are for Elementary Schools.

If you are not willing or able to meet these requirements, we would still love to have you volunteer in other roles at the Science Center. You can assist in behind-the-scenes preparation and stocking, community events like Family Science Nights, and some special events. If you wish to volunteer in these support roles and not as a field trip volunteer, you do not need to attend an in-person orientation. Instead, you can sign up immediately for any opportunity on the volunteer portal, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements as listed in the opportunity description.

If you are willing and able to meet the Field Trip Volunteering requirements and are interested in participating in an orientation, please first review the changes to our volunteer policies here.

We will be holding orientation 1 time monthly, and upcoming orientation dates will be posted here as they are scheduled. 

Feel free, also, to email the volunteer team at volunteer@childsci.org with questions and for more information.
