The Jacksonville-Onslow Volunteer & Nonprofit Resource Center, aka Volunteer Onslow, program of United Way of Onslow County, makes it easy for individuals and groups to get involved in meaningful volunteer opportunities.

Why partner with Volunteer Onslow?
Volunteer Onslow enables you to promote a variety of different types of opportunities including:
- Ongoing and one-time needs
- Date-specific and open-ended opportunities
- Projects for individuals and groups
- For projects that require training, screening, and/or individual scheduling you can allow volunteers to “respond to need” online.
- For projects that are date and time specific, and don’t require prior training or screening, we can add them as a “community project” and volunteers can sign up directly on the website.
Your organization has the opportunity to manage recruitment efforts for various projects in different ways depending on the nature of the project.
Volunteer Onslow strives to make it easy and beneficial for organizations to
partner with us:
- We’ll remind you once a year to update your organizational information
- You can post new opportunities throughout the year
- When projects fill up or no longer need volunteers, you can make appropriate changes to those needs.
- We will conduct annual surveys with Service Partners and volunteers to find out how we can continue to improve our services.
