Why volunteer with us

A reliable car can be the difference between keeping a job and losing it. Volunteers multiply what a small nonprofit can do: every inspected car, every researched program and every follow-up call helps a family move forward.

Skills we need most

  • ASE-certified and experienced mechanics to inspect and repair donated vehicles
  • Researchers to keep our state guides accurate and trusted
  • Bilingual volunteers, especially Spanish speakers
  • Event and outreach helpers for community fairs, churches and schools
  • Professionals in finance, insurance and law who can review our guides

Volunteer safely

Volunteers who work directly with applicants or vehicles may be asked to complete a short orientation and, for some roles, a background check. We protect applicant privacy and expect all volunteers to do the same.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I volunteer remotely?

Yes. Research, follow-up calls, translation and some outreach can be done from home.

Is there a minimum time commitment?

No. Some volunteers help a few hours a month, others weekly. We will match you with a role that fits your schedule.
