BVU's Volunteer Central connects volunteers to your organization to support your mission. Every month we coordinate hundreds of volunteers and local businesses who are interested in giving back to their communities through volunteerism with local agencies.

When your agency is registered here, the information becomes a part of our public searchable database which is also shared with websites for the Baltimore County Volunteer Center and the United Way of Central Maryland. There is no need to register on multiple sites. By registering with BVU’s Volunteer Central, you are promoting your opportunities on two other websites, which means visibility by thousands of more volunteers!

Skilled Volunteers Available

Looking for skilled volunteers? Volunteer Central’s Skills Bank is a pool of volunteers and volunteer opportunities entered by agencies. Skilled volunteer opportunities refer to a volunteer job requiring education or training in a particular area. The Skills Bank helps you to attract volunteers with the skills you need!
