Connect Directly with Community Members and Organizations Seeking Volunteers

CHER maintains a volunteer opportunities database to help match Trinity volunteers with Hartford community partners. The database allows students to reach out to community partners directly to connect on volunteer opportunities.

“Being a part of and leading [the Trinity chapter of] Habitat for Humanity has been an immense learning experience, one where I have learned about all that Hartford has to offer as well as the many issues it faces. I’ve also forged relationships with community organizers and others who work to make Hartford a more prosperous city. The opportunities CHER affords us are easy ways to begin breaking the divide that Trinity has had with our surrounding community and to contribute to the success of the community.”
