You don’t need to be an artist to participate in one of our painting projects!  This volunteer painted pre-sketched canvas murals that would be hung throughout the school while others painted line games in the gymnasium.   No matter what talents and skills you may have, Jersey Cares has a volunteer opportunity for you!

Jersey Cares has a wide variety of volunteer opportunities every month!  This group of volunteers from Sanofi-Aventis travelled to an educational center for children and adults with medically complicated developmental disabilities.  They were able to work together to create a dugout for an adaptive baseball field.  While the weather wasn’t the best, the day was brightened by smiles from volunteers and children!

There is nothing better than volunteering on a beautiful day!  These volunteers from Roche spent the day gardening at an agency in Paterson.  Volunteers were also able to brighten the inside of the agency with beautiful murals.

Jersey Cares cares about animals too!  As part of our Individual Monthly Calendar, individuals may volunteer to clean cages and socialize animals that are currently in shelters.

Employees from Southwest Airlines took time out of their busy schedules to help paint, plant and assemble environmental kits for children.  Over 30 volunteers had a blast helping revitalize one of the oldest public elementary schools in Newark.  This project truly made a difference in the lives of these children!
