Provided on this page are a list of some of the different organizations that are always looking for volunteers.

The Urban Servant Corps

Get ready for a radical and transformational year of service to the Denver
community!

MISSION:Seeking to fulfill Christ's mission of love
demonstrated through action by working for peace with justice, advocating
for and with oppressed persons, and sharing our power and abundance with
those most in need.

IN A NUTSHELL: USC is a one-year, full-time Lutheran volunteer program that
serves inner-city Denver. Volunteers thrive on tenets of intentional
community living, service, simplicity, and spirituality. USC volunteer
positions balance between working with direct service programs to address
immediate needs and advocating to work for long-term social change.
Partnering non-profit agencies include those who provide direct service for
people in need of food, clothing, housing, job counseling and education
programs for youth and adults.
