Join the Volunteer Capacity Network
Give Ground Up is building a small, trusted network of volunteers willing to offer short-term, skills-based support to grassroots groups protecting immigrant communities.
We’re inviting individuals who are open to offering short-term, skills-based support — such as legal guidance, grant support, research, communications, design, or other capacity-building help — on a time-limited and optional basis.
This is not an ongoing volunteer role. Volunteers may be contacted when there is a clear, aligned need and are always free to decline.
If you’re interested in being part of this referral network, please share what you’re willing (and not willing) to offer below.
