How Can I Volunteer in San Diego?

Volunteer Shifts now available for March and April Spring Prom Dress Giveaways! Sign up to help make the magic of prom happen for teens in San Diego County and beyond!


Please note: We love and appreciate the help of our volunteer community; for Prom Dress Giveaways, all volunteers must be over the age of 18+. In addition, this year we have a new platform for volunteer sign-ups; volunteers will need to fill out a waiver each time before you sign-up for dates/times to help.

Sundays (1 Shift Only) 10:15 AM -2:00 PM or 1:30 PM - 5 PM
