You're here because you're like us:  you believe that communities can help communities better than government can. While government can help set policies to assist those who need a hand, everyday people make the difference.

Below is a list of Anchorage organizations that could use someone like you. Chip in a little time or devote yourself to a cause. There is no such thing as too little or too much when it comes to giving back to the community that offers a good life for you and your loved ones.

Are we missing anyone? Do you have a group you like to dedicate your time and passion to? Leave us a note in the comments section! This page is a work in progress and we hope to continuously update it to feature volunteer opportunities to fit your skills, talents, and time.

Thank you for reviewing this list!
