Volunteer with Us

At Italian Community Services, volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Their dedication and generosity are vital in supporting our services to the Italian Community.   

Our volunteers deeply care about the Italian culture and want to give back to ensure our community members feel supported – but you do not have to be Italian to volunteer with us.

We welcome ALL who wish to enrich our organization and the lives of our community members. Whether you have a few hours or are looking for a regular opportunity, your contribution will have a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve. 

Ways to Volunteer

  • Senior Adult Transportation

    Transportation for our Seniors to medical appointments, grocery stores, and social functions such as the Weekly Luncheons or Festas. Reach out to ICS directly for more information on insurance and gas coverage.

  • Weekly Luncheon Support

    Help set-up, decorate, serve lunch and dessert, and connect with community members in person during our Weekly Luncheons, a free luncheon service for the seniors in our community.

  • FriendLine Volunteer Program - Remote Opportunity

    Make friendly phone calls to seniors on a semi-monthly basis to check in with them, ease loneliness, build a meaningful relationship, and act as extensions of ICS’ help.

    Italian-speaking individuals are highly encouraged, but not required.

  • Office Volunteering

    Help in the ICS office at Casa Fugazi with data -entry, contacting community members, and maintenance of our Heritage Rooms and Library.

  • Community Events Support

    ICS is very involved within the North Beach and the Bay Area Italian community and is always looking for volunteers who can help with outreach and staffing at booths and events.

  • Senior Adult Client Visit

    Visit a senior on their birthday, assist with their phone or computer or to help with household tasks.

    Are you a caregiver? Many of our senior adults request caregiving services. If you are, please contact us directly to be added to our referral list. All caregiving services, including rates and duties, are to be negotiated directly with community member with ICS Client Advocate Manager awareness.

  • Internships and Dedicated Opp – Remote Opportunity

    ICS is always looking for volunteers interested in helping with their specialized skills, whether it be with Italian language translation, teaching a class, program management, copywriting, outreach, or grant writing.
