NEW IN 2026: Serve Virginia and volunteer centers across Virginia are proud to announce the launch of the Serve Virginia Volunteer Hub. New features and resources will roll out as we continue expanding opportunities for volunteers and partners across the Commonwealth.
The Serve Virginia Volunteer Hub offers a way for all Virginians to get connected to local opportunities for service. The Hub will provide a single “front door” to find volunteer opportunities across all Virginia localities, offer a free and secure place to record verified volunteer hours, and connect organizations with those looking to make a difference.
