Community Connections is a monthly calendar of volunteer service projects that afford volunteers from the general public the opportunity to participate in an activity with little advance notice or preparation. There is no minimum commitment required and volunteers can participate in projects that meet their needs, interests and schedules. Volunteers remain active with the network as long as they complete one project every 12 months. Volunteers simply need to register for a project and show up at the appropriate time and location!

*All volunteers 18 years and older must complete and return the Adult Registration Form. Submit your completed form via fax (412-456-2212), email or mail (The Investment Building, 239 Fourth Ave., Suite 1007, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222). This can also be done online under the Member and Non-Member Login section.
