About Us
 VOLUNTEER FLORIDA believes that "strengthening Florida's communities through volunteerism and service" is not just a mission statement; it's a way of life. Now, more than ever, Floridians of all ages are ready to answer the call and lend a hand in their local communities.
Our Governor-appointed Commissioners lead the way for Volunteer Florida by helping to develop, promote and implement volunteerism and service throughout the state. Because of their hard work and the dedication of our partners, Floridians are stepping up to the plate and volunteerism is on the rise.
Volunteer Florida strives to help every Floridian answer the President's Call to Service by providing a way for them to dig in and get their hands dirty. Volunteers change lives and SO CAN YOU! Get involved to make your community and Florida a better place to live.
The Governor's Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service was established in 1994 by the Florida Legislature to administer grants under the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. The Commission grants funds to Florida AmeriCorps
and National Service programs; encourages volunteerism for everyone from youth to seniors to
people with disabilities; promotes volunteerism for disaster preparedness and response; and
helps to strengthen and expand Volunteer Centers in Florida.
