Individual Volunteers FPWA matches talented and willing individuals with our member agencies. If you are looking to volunteer your time, FPWA can tailor an individual opportunity based upon your availability, interests, expertise and geographic preferences.
Corporate and Group Service Days Companies and other groups can contact FPWA to arrange “Service Days”, which means that they provide the volunteers, and sometimes additional resources, to complete a project at an agency. Corporations have painted rooms, created libraries, planted gardens, delivered meals, refurbished playgrounds and staged mock interviews with clients in job training programs.
Adopt a Center Program FPWA's “Adopt a Center” program seeks to foster long-term volunteer relationships between corporations and member agencies. For example, a law firm that undertook a corporate service day at an early care center liked the agency so much that they “adopted” the center. The two organizations will work together to accomplish various projects to improve the learning experience of the children at the center.
On June 6th, volunteers participating in Deloitte’s 2008 Impact Day worked with clients from the Maternity Residence at Inwood House, packing food baskets at the Yorkville Community Pantry. Deloitte volunteers assisted with four separate projects at FPWA member agencies.
