WHERE TO VOLUNTEER IN CORPUS CHRISTI
Anyone looking for an opportunity to volunteer in Corpus Christi will find exactly what they need to know right here in the Corpus Christi Volunteer Guide. From working with animals in pet shelters and helping put on events to mentoring kids and feeding the hungry, Corpus Christi volunteers are needed in every capacity imaginable.
While every organization needs donations and help with fundraisers, they also need people power. Several environmental and beautification organizations seek volunteers to help clean parks and beaches.
Animal shelters need people to clean, feed and play with lost pets or animals looking for forever homes. You can even foster kittens and puppies in your own home!
Cultural organizations such as theaters need actors, ticket takers, costume designers and lighting techs. Museums need docents, office helpers and period re-enactors.
The city of Corpus Christi uses volunteers in a variety of areas, including working with seniors, children and the police.
