About Us

Jersey Cares works to meet compelling community needs by encouraging civic engagement. With local service agencies, corporations and civic-minded individuals as our partners, we link volunteers with meaningful service projects to improve and enhance our communities. 

Jersey Cares is a non-profit, community-based organization established in 1993.  We provide individuals, families, and corporate and community groups with a wide variety of volunteer opportunities.  Jersey Cares partners with hundreds of non-profit agencies to provide service projects that range from building homes with Habitat for Humanity to comforting fragile infants at Hudson Cradle. Jersey Cares is an affiliate of the Hands on Network/Points of Light Foundation, an innovative alliance of "Cares" and "Hands On" organizations across the Unites States, U.K. and other countries.

Volunteering with JERSEY CARES is flexible – sign up to volunteer at a time and location that is convenient to you; volunteer just once, or return again and again to support your community.  Browse our calendar for a variety of events that you are interested in.  Continue to visit our website for new activities.

Volunteering with JERSEY CARES is easy – once you have registered and logged in, choose from hundreds of Jersey Cares opportunities from our Calendar Projects or participate in special community activities.
