[Flex]Flexible Volunteer Program
The Flexible Volunteer Program (Flex) provides volunteers with a calendar of meaningful service projects organized by CVNL in partnership with local nonprofits. Flex projects are designed specifically to make the most out of volunteers' time, which means Flex projects meet real community needs and have a measurable impact from beginning to end. Flex projects cover a wide array of impact areas, such as literacy, housing/homelessness, environment, education, food/basic needs, healthy aging and special events.
Flex Projects:
- Require no prior training or experience
- Require no on-going or long term commitment
- Are group and family friendly
- Often occur on the evenings or weekends
- Have trained project leaders who available to answer questions, provide directions, and give support as needed
- Involve direct, hands-on activities and make a measurable impact

We plan each project carefully according to the number of volunteers needed. If you can not make it, we would like to fill your spot with another volunteer to ensure there are enough people present. If you CANNOT make the project pleast let the Volunteer Marin staff know at least 24 hours in advance (72 hours if you are a group of 3 or more).
