Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have previous experience to volunteer?
Many of our volunteer opportunities do not require you to have any previous experience, unless otherwise indicated.

How often do I have to volunteer?
Your schedule will vary depending on your assignment or role. Think about how much time you want to devote to your volunteer activities and what will be manageable.

How is it decided if and where I will volunteer?
A decision will be based on your interests, availability, current opportunities, ability to perform the tasks required, and successful completion of PCC’s Volunteer Engagement intake/screening process.

What kind of volunteer positions are offered?
Visit our Volunteer Opportunities page for more information.

Can I volunteer with my friends and family?
We encourage you to volunteer with friends and family. If you’d like to all volunteer for the same event or activity, please be sure to let us know so we can place you together. We will try our best to accommodate these requests.

Can I volunteer if I’m under 18 years old?
Absolutely! We will require your parent or guardian’s consent before you can begin volunteering. PCC currently has guidelines in place to ensure you have a good and safe volunteer experience. Volunteers must be 14 years of age to volunteer for any of PCC’s events. If you are under 14 years old, you must volunteer with your parent or guardian – this requires your parent or guardian to apply to volunteer and he/she must also complete a volunteer application.

Can I earn community service hours for high school?
Yes you can. Please let us know in advance when completing the volunteer application form.
