Offering network opportunities
Healthy lifestyles are fostered by:

Our Member Organizations include: nonprofit organizations, government agencies, civic groups, churches, hospitals, schools, and libraries. Presently we have 243 member organizations with an annual volunteer need of 50,000.
Volunteers manage a variety of tasks for organizations from fundraising and marketing, and child care and companionship, to caring for land and unwanted animals. They are mentors, tutors, teachers, advocates, artists, physicians, grandparents, and more. Individuals and groups that wish to help their community can get connected to an organization through our website, www.volunteermchenrycounty.org or by talking with a Volunteer Center staff person.
The Volunteer Center is managed by Not-For-Profit Resources and funded by United Way of Greater McHenry County and generous donors. If you would like to become a donor contact the Volunteer Center or visit our website.
