The Rotary Club of Fresno Volunteer Opportunities / Hands-on Projects Committee will seek out those community projects on which we can make the maximum impact through individual involvement. These projects will support nonprofit activities or groups, efforts that make a significant impact on youth, the disadvantaged, and/or those elements of our community not adequately serviced by other avenues of support.
Requests from educational and nonprofit charitable organization in the greater Fresno community area may submit a request for volunteers by completing the Volunteer Request application.
