Chicago Fun Volunteers

Do you enjoy helping others? New in town? Like fun people who smile a lot? Has the rat race got you down? Want a calendar full of unique things to do? TRY VOLUNTEERING!

Chicago Fun Volunteers is a unique & open forum thru which all altruistic activity w/in the area can be monitored. Join and help our large and active community of members keep tabs on opportunities in: Fests, Park Districts, UnitedWay, Food Pantries, Tutoring, Afterschool Programs, Local Cleanups, Senior Centers, Animal Shelters, and more... The unique MEETUP layout is ideal for this group concept since it allows for any member to post volunteer events online, similar to putting up a flier in a coffee house for people to see. The difference here is that every Fun Volunteer about Chicago will see your event, all from the comfort from their homes...

This group was made for you, the fun volunteer, in mind. Think of it as YOUR space, a "kiosk" on the web, where communication is expected for it to work. Feel free to post , organize, or discuss new ideas in the spirit of GOODWILL & FUN.

FUN VOLUNTEERS is NOT racially, religious, politically, sex, age, disability, relationship or social-status discriminate! We are also 100% FREE and NOT-FOR-PROFIT.

Welcome and We Hope You Enjoy Your Stay!
