Community Action in Lincoln offers diverse volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups.

Community Action in Lincoln connects volunteers with a wide range of individual and group opportunities designed to match personal skills, interests, and goals. Individual roles include classroom support for Early Head Start and Head Start, family educator internships, social work practicums, data entry, foster grandparent positions for seniors aged 55 and older, health coordination, reception, fiscal assistance, financial well‑being counseling, maintenance, front desk, and kitchen duties. Group projects cover trash pickup, landscaping, brochure folding and newsletter mailings, serving or cleaning at the Gathering Place soup kitchen, vehicle cleaning, maintenance and grounds work, and special event support. Prospective volunteers start by completing an online application; individuals use the Volunteer/Intern/Practicum Application and then email Sam Bates at [email protected] to confirm interest, with interns and practicum students advised to apply one to two months ahead for background checks. Those interested in the Gathering Place should contact their group coordinator or email Sam Bates directly for availability. The organization aims to ensure everyone in the community has the opportunity to live well through tailored volunteer engagement.
