What volunteering with CDR looks like
Volunteers show up wherever our programs do: welcoming guests and setting up at cultural events and award nights, sharing professional experience with participants in small business and financial education trainings, tutoring and leading after-school activities, and lending office and outreach help that keeps a small nonprofit running. You do not need any special background, just a willingness to work alongside neighbors from many cultures.
