Volunteering is a great way to help Jamboree help others by enhancing the services we provide. Time donated by Jamboree volunteers furthers our mission to strengthen communities, transform lives, and end homelessness. We offer a range of ways for individuals, groups, and corporate teams to engage with our 110+ communities serving 24,700+ residents, from Sacramento to LA and Orange County, to the Inland Empire and San Diego. In 2024, we welcomed the Deloitte team on their annual Impact Day, who filled the community garden at Estrella Springs and prepared care baskets at Finamore Place. In 2026, Wells Fargo partnered with us to make home cleaning kits for over 100 households.
We have a range of volunteer opportunities for both individuals and groups, and we're happy to tailor them to your interests when possible. Our goal is to bridge our residents and the community, so we're glad to stay flexible and work with what fits your group best. See below for more information about getting involved.
Our recurring opportunities tend to center around our food pantries and afterschool programs, which run daily, weekly, or bi-monthly depending on need and resident participation. We also host special and holiday events throughout the year, like pool parties, summer luaus, ice cream socials, and movie nights. Volunteers can help by:
