Our agency is operated solely by volunteers. We have no paid staff and no paid executives. Because of this, there is no shortage of volunteer opportunities. We need volunteers in all areas of nonprofit organization operations.
We also have great opportunities for college and high school students to fulfill their volunteer requirements.
We encourage everyone/everywhere to volunteer; we have volunteer opportunities for all interested people.
We celebrate our volunteers' contributions every year by selecting our Volunteers Extraordinaire. Winners are added to the Rainer Philanthropy Volunteers Hall of Fame.
In 2017, we founded National Hotline Volunteer Month. We celebrate the people who graciously give their time and energy to the hotline, helpline, and chat lines each year.
