Our Volunteers

OCF relies on more than 1,800 local volunteers who provide us with personal, in-depth knowledge of community needs across the state.

OCF volunteers serve on the board, advisory and leadership councils, and evaluate grant proposals and scholarship applications. OCF fills volunteer roles on an ongoing basis. If you'd like to learn about becoming a volunteer, email us to share your interest.
