Ready to Give Back?
Volunteers are what make Manos de Mapaches work! We are always looking for volunteers and have an abundance of ways to connect ambitious and selfless people with our community. While we are excited to meet and work with you all, safety comes first and that includes the safety of our volunteers. Please read our message on volunteer safety below before proceeding to the Volunteer Form. Thank you for understanding!
In regards to safety, your age and general health condition will most likely affect the type of work that you are eligible for. For instance, volunteers over the age of 40 years old are highly encouraged to strictly work remotely since after 40, your coronavirus health risks go up for each year of age. In order to be considered for grocery delivery duties, ALL volunteers MUST:
​
- Have not been out of the country in the last 30 days.
- Have not come in contact with a sick person in the past 14 days.
- Are currently in good health.
- Have no health conditions that would increase vulnerability to the coronavirus.
- Have been PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING.
​
We also have volunteering opportunities in administrative roles as well as in our Community Connections program. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please click on the Volunteer Form button and fill out a form and thank you again for your interest!
One of the most helpful things right now is getting the word out to those who need our services. Please download the fliers below and spread the work we're doing here, especially to those in the Santa Barbara area!
