RochesterCares strives to build bridges between volunteers and organizations, and ultimately, between people and their communities. We are on a mission to inspire and challenge everyone to be engaged in improving the Rochester community through volunteerism and civic engagement.
We represent a new type of volunteer organization that goes far beyond the traditional volunteer clearinghouse. RochesterCares is designed to help individuals give back in a flexible way that accommodates their busy lives, their skills and their interests. To accomplish this, we develop engaging projects with our community service partners, publish those projects in a monthly calendar, and then recruit and lead volunteers during the projects.
