Volunteer Alexandria

Volunteer Alexandria connects people to opportunities and helping hands to the places that need them.

Volunteer Alexandria is in the business of helping Alexandrians give back to this City with their whole heart, through volunteering. We are essentially matchmakers who provide connections between volunteers and nonprofits or City agencies needing assistance the most.
