At Opportunity Junction, volunteers are an essential part of what makes our work possible. Their time, talents, and generosity help us strengthen our programs and create more opportunities for job seekers and their families.
From sharing professional expertise with our students to pitching in on special projects, volunteers help us stretch our resources and strengthen our programs.
We welcome individuals and organizations to volunteer in ways that fit their interests and skills. Team opportunities include mock interviews, holiday gift basket assembly, and backpack drives. Individual volunteers can conduct mock interviews, help at our Friday food bank, or share their expertise as trainers, teachers, and tutors in computer skills, business English, and business math.
We’re especially grateful to the individuals and organizations who have supported Opportunity Junction over the years. Their ongoing commitment makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students and alumni.
We would love to personally give thanks to a few key volunteers from the past year:
- Corporate volunteers: Citi Bank, Mechanics Bank, Impact100 East Bay, and CSAA
- Individual volunteers: Mike Caroll, Darleen Denny, Lorraine Breaux, Aron Crisp, Kevin Dilworth, Stephanie Ferrari Photography, Lea Mason, Sudhir Patel, Abigail Robertson, Justin Santiago, Beverly Spring, Rick and Christine Wise
- Board Members: Carol Ann Barber, Linda Best, Qadirah Bey, Maria Capote, Richard Corcoran, Raushanah Davis, Kevin Dilworth, Penni Hudis, Kathy Jones, Kenneth Leung, Susie Martinez, Miguel Mauricio, Pamela Powers, Renee Reid, Matthew Riley, Tara Dale Sanders, Justin Santiago, Elizabeth Stokes, Matt Tillman, Karolyn Wilhelmsen
Thank you, Volunteers.
Together, we can do more to support job seekers and create pathways to opportunity.
Food Bank Volunteer Openings: We have a few food bank volunteers that will be retiring in December. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering with our food bank we would love to connect with you.
