Volunteering

Volunteer to Help New Neighbors

Floridians have each other’s backs when help is needed, and we want you to know it’s easy to lend a helping hand. Groups like the Florida Boys & Girls Clubs work to help all young people reach their full potential, while the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay welcomes anyone in a personal crisis who needs help.

Other groups like Feeding South Florida focus on caring for those suffering from food insecurity, while Partnership for Strong Families helps protect children in abusive situations. Wherever you see yourself making the biggest difference, from healthcare access to community outreach, Florida has a place to let you help.

Volunteer to Help the Environment

You’re moving to Florida for a brand-new environment, and you can be part of keeping it pristine. Organizations like the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are always eager to add more names to their volunteer lists. Find individual volunteer programs with the Florida State Parks department and provide trail maintenance to help keep paths marked and safe for exploration.

Conservation Florida is also a strong networking center to find ways to help keep Florida green and clean. Local groups like the South Florida Water Management District also make giving back to your region easy. There’s no use sitting back – here, you can be part of the solution.

Volunteer When Disasters Strike

It’s not uncommon for Florida’s sunny weather to occasionally give way to a stormy day, but fortunately, you can be a part of keeping everyone safe in your new home state. National programs operate in Florida, but there are many more local ways to pitch in. Become a Community Emergency Response Team member or join Florida International University to learn how to be of service during a disaster in Florida.
