What We Do

Board Connect brings together professionals seeking meaningful community leadership opportunities with local nonprofits looking to strengthen their volunteer boards.

Established in 1993, Jersey Cares is a nonprofit organization dedicated to volunteerism and civic engagement in New Jersey. We engage individuals, families, community groups, and corporations in a broad spectrum of volunteer opportunities that address community-identified needs.

Jersey Cares partners with nonprofits, public schools, and government agencies to engage volunteers in projects that address issues like food insecurity, environmental conservation, access to education, and many others.

Jersey Cares is an affiliate of the Points of Light Network, an innovative alliance of volunteer catalysts throughout the world. Review the Jersey Cares Playbook to learn more about all the ways to get involved with Jersey Cares.
