Q: How do I sign up?
A: Simply go to our Calendar and select an event. The automated RSVP system will ask for some basic information: email, name, etc. This information is absolutely confidential and is not used for any purposes beyond contacting you to remind you about the event you signed up for and letting the non-profits we partner with know that you're coming!
If you don't see anything you can attend, sign up for our monthly email Newsletter to hear about other upcoming volunteer opportunities.
Q: What is the average age range of kidServe Global volunteers?
A: Most of our volunteers are between 5-18 years old. All minors must come with an adult, so we have adults volunteering too!

A: Some non-profits require a background check or waiver form. These are available on our website and you will be emailed the forms again if you sign up for an event that requires them.
Q: How can I learn about possible projects or social events?
A: All of our events are listed on our Event Calendar. Simply click on an event title that interests you and a detailed description will appear. We also send out a monthly email newsletter. You can sign up for our Mailing List to begin receiving them.
Q: How long do events last?
A: Events generally last 2-4 hours.
Q: What do volunteers do at events?
A: All sorts of things. At the Food Bank you might be sorting and labeling canned food or separating massive bins of oranges into boxes. At outdoor gardening events, you might be weeding, planting, or spreading mulch. At fundraising events, you might help with catering or registering guests as they arrive. Try to pick an event that appeals to your interests and if you have any questions about activities, you can always email us at volunteer@kidserveglobal.org.
Q: Do you accept court ordered volunteers? Do you sign volunteer forms?
A: We are a volunteer organization that is seeking to help people who want to volunteer. Therefore, we do not accept court ordered volunteers and do not sign any volunteer forms.
