Who are our volunteers?

Catchafire volunteers are talented professionals looking to support causes and communities they care about by offering their skills. Our volunteers have an average of 16 years of professional experience, and 70% have previous experience in the nonprofit sector. Catchafire volunteers donate their time; you never pay for completed work.

Can I choose who I want to work with?

Yes. On Catchafire, you are in control throughout the application process and choose who you want to work with. When volunteers apply to your project, you review their profiles, interview them, and decide who to work with. We recommend reviewing a volunteer's experience, references, and portfolio before accepting any applicant. If you encounter a suspicious profile or feel unsure about a volunteer, reach out to our team through live chat.
