Volunteer opportunities
One of the cornerstones of a strong city like New Haven is the involvement of its citizens in the community. In New Haven, there are literally thousands of opportunities to get involved and make a difference. Whether you are a student or a professional, and regardless of whether you have one hour or a whole day, opportunities for volunteering abound. Mentor or tutor a young person or donate your time or skills to a local charity. These are just a few ideas out of a myriad of ways that you can give back to the community.
