Get Connected

What Is and How Do We Use Get Connected?

  • Get Connected is the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley's volunteer database where member agencies post their volunteer needs
  • Each week we select four volunteer opportunities to promote in our weekly newsletter and on our social media
  • We direct volunteers to our database when they are seeking volunteer opportunities and assist in pairing them with an agency that fits their interest and skills
