At Copper Beech, we thrive thanks to the compassionate actions of our dedicated volunteers. These generous individuals help create a vibrant community filled with wisdom, openness, mindfulness, and cultural competence. Volunteering is one of the most selfless acts we can engage in, and it is the backbone of nonprofits worldwide, enabling them to fulfill their missions and make a profound impact. 

  

When you offer your time and talent as a volunteer, you open yourself up to countless rewards, such as: 

  

• A sense of purpose 

• Valuable experience 

• Increased confidence 

• Improved health 

• Building a new community 

• Making lasting friendships 

• Expanding your network 

• Reducing loneliness 

• Teaching your skills to others 

• Boosted happiness 

• Physical activity 

• And so much more 

  

In the words of American minister and activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” 

  

We offer various opportunities for you to contribute, including: 

  

- Program support
