Hello there! Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering with Generation Union :)
*** Just a reminder: we are based in Northern Virginia, meaning Fairfax & Loudon County. If you’d like to join us but don’t live near there, start a chapter! Of course, we won't be planning any events during school hours (we are a completely student-led organization).
At their request, our amazing volunteers will receive volunteer hours and a personalized letter of recommendation. If eligible, you will also receive the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (Bronze, Silver, or Gold).
FAQ:
What does Generation Union do?
We connect awesome youth volunteers like you to volunteer at retirement homes through fun events :)
What do I do as a volunteer?
Volunteers will be helping out with setting up events (i.e. setting up art supplies, decorations, board games, snacks, etc.), and participating in them (play games with the elderly, talking + making sure they're having a good time).
You’re volunteering on your own schedule! We host events almost every weekend, but are flexible and don’t require our team to volunteer at all our events. Volunteer as much or as little as you’d like.
