Volunteer Connections program is the critical link between great community volunteers and the nonprofit agencies that need them.

Volunteer Connections serves as the volunteer center in the Sioux Empire Brookings, and Black Hills communities.


In addition to providing and maintaining a database list of hundreds of volunteer opportunities, Volunteer Connections also provides resources and information to non-profit organizations and businesses.

The Helpline Center is an affiliate of the Points of Light Global Network, which includes volunteer-mobilizing organizations located in nearly 40 countries around the world. Together we are inspiring, equipping and mobilizing more people to use their time, talent, voice and resources to create positive change in their communities. To learn more about the Points of Light Global Network, visit www.pointsoflight.org/global-network.



As the community's volunteer center, we are excited to offer you this incredible resource, connecting you with volunteer opportunities that match your interests, skills, and the time you have to give. For personalized assistance, call or email your area coordinator.
