Volunteer Opportunities

Teach at the Nonprofit Institute: The Nonprofit and Communities of Faith Nonprofit Institute provides high-impact training to help individuals, nonprofits and communities of faith improve the quality of services to their constituencies.

Through the Nonprofit Institute, persons involved with local nonprofits and communities of faith learn how to build organizational and program capacity through the study of funding, technology and capacity building.

Do you have expertise in an area that participants can benefit from? Please share your expertise by volunteering to teach a class in management, finances, technology, fundraising, etc. The next series of classes is scheduled for June 20, 21 & 22 and June 27, 28 & 29. Individual classes are one and a half, two or three hours in length, depending on the subject matter. We would love to have you share your expertise with the community, especially if you have an expertise in writing business plans. Please e-mail me at sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu to volunteer.

Had a conference? Do you have left-over bags, T-shirts or tchotchkes? Need to empty out your storage space? Please donate items to Penn VIPS. We will put them to great use by donating them to members in the community and many of the students we work with, and to say thank you to many of our volunteers.
