There are a wide variety of services that our volunteers provide to help the members of Dupont Circle Village.  As a volunteer, you can pick how and when you want to be involved. 

How volunteers are contacted

The process is simple.  After you are vetted by our volunteer coordinator, you can tell us what areas or services interest you.  When a request that matches your indications is received, you and other volunteers receive an email explaining the request.  If you want to help on that request, you respond to our Volunteer Coordinator.  If not, you simply do not reply.
