This Wikidelphia resource page gives you a few suggestions to get started volunteering in Philadelphia:
A local "umbrella" organization for recruiting and coordinating volunteers is United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. Direct link: Volunteer (unitedforimpact.org/get-involved/volunteer).
The website Volunteer Match Volunteer Match (volunteermatch.org), which requires free registration, is used by many Philadelphia nonprofits to make announcements, so it's an essential visit for a volunteer in search of a great gig in Philly. It is not as good for South Jersey; we hope more South Jersey groups will start posting. For your convenience in seeing a good example of Volunteer Match, here's a link to get a snapshot of opportunities in the central Philadelphia area and outward: volunteermatch.org/search?l=19102.
The City, through the Mayor's Office of Engagement and Volunteer Service, runs a search engine for volunteers. See SERVE Philadelphia.
Idealist also posts searchable opportunities (idealist.org/en/?searchMode=true&type=VOLOP) for volunteers, as does All For Good, here: allforgood.org/search.
Yet another database of volunteer opportunities is found at 2-1-1 SEPA: Give Help: Volunteer (211sepa.org/give-help/volunteer).
Craigslist is a less organized, occasionally useful engine:
- Philadelphia: philadelphia.craigslist.org/search/vol
- South Jersey: southjersey.craigslist.org/search/vol
- Delaware: delaware.craigslist.org/search/vol
