Volunteer with CommonBond

Join our dedicated team of volunteers.

As a volunteer, you might connect with our Study Buddies program, providing youth with 1-on-1 literacy support, or join a Homework Center or Teen Program and team up with staff to support youth and teens with their schoolwork, and contribute to a positive and welcoming program space. We are now recruiting for our Community Advisory Boards. Check back soon for youth/teen program opportunities.

Community Advisory Boards

Help With Community Awareness and Advocacy – Are you looking to learn more about the importance of affordable housing in your community? Do you have experience in finance or board service? Consider joining a Community Advisory Board.  

Community Advisory Board members help to advance the goal of creating and sustaining homes for all. Board meetings are a unique opportunity to connect with CommonBond staff, residents, and other community members to learn firsthand about the successes and challenges our housing communities are facing.  

As a board member, you will review the financial audit for a housing community and attend the annual meeting, typically scheduled between April and June during regular business hours, for a one-hour meeting. We are looking for volunteers with finance or board service experience but anyone with an interest in board service or affordable housing is encouraged to apply. The enrollment process consists of an application and phone interview.
