There's A Place For Everyone

VOLUNTEER

Showing up matters - on deployments,

behind the scenes, and everywhere in between.

100% VOLUNTEER

From our Board of Directors to the people who put Cares Kits together to the people on our Deployment Operations team to our CEO, everyone at DeWeather Cares is a volunteer. Nobody gets paid. Volunteers are why we are able to help communities impacted by natural disasters. Whether at DeWeather headquarters or remotely, there is an almost endless list of volunteer opportunities at DeWeather Cares, and each one is as important as the next one. Most volunteer opportunities can be performed remotely.

WHY VOLUNTEER?

DeWeather Cares is powered entirely by volunteers. Every box packed, every mile driven, every card sorted, every donation delivered, and every life touched is made possible by people willing to give their time and talents to help others.


Volunteering isn't about recognition. It's about making a real difference for communities impacted by disaster.
