We rely heavily on our volunteers and cannot run certain programs or events without the help of our dedicated volunteers. It is important, therefore, to CCSBRIV and those we serve, that volunteers honor their commitment once they have signed up for an assignment.
Between all our programs and events, we have positions available every day of the week from 0800 to 1800.
Program and Event Volunteer Opportunities:

Once you have completed your application and background check, and are activated as a current volunteer in our system, you can sign up for specified assignment openings on a first-come, first-served basis through Volgistics. All schedules are posted 3 months in advance and no sooner. Some positions will not have openings listed on the calendar but will coordinate a schedule with their department supervisor.
Each volunteer must use his/her Volgistics account to schedule themselves and report all hours served.
Volunteers are expected to report their hours served within 24 hours of the assignment date. All hours for a month must be entered by the end of the month for accurate tracking. Travel time, unless stated by the Volunteer Manager, is not a part of logged hours.
Catholic Charities San Bernardino & Riverside Counties welcomes corporate or other groups to volunteer at many of our community or special events. If you are interested in volunteering as a group, please contact our volunteer manager early, as many of our opportunities can be booked several months in advance.
