Looking for a way to make a positive contribution in your spare time? We are seeking civic-minded people of all ages and backgrounds to join our Volunteer Corps. Your commitment of just a few hours per week or per month can make a difference for Connecticut’s civic health.
If you would like to assist in carrying out the mission of the Office of the Secretary of the State, we offer a variety of opportunities depending on your personal skills and interests, including but not limited to:
• Tabling at fairs, festivals, and other events
• Organizing and executing community events
• Coordinating community outreach effort
• Promoting civic engagement programs
• Research and writing projects
• Video and graphic design projects
Training and Availability:
• Virtual training will be provided for all new volunteers.
• Depending on the role, you can serve remotely, in your local community, or at our offices in Hartford.
• Volunteer opportunities are available during regular business hours, in the evenings, and on weekends.
Note: Depending on the nature of their work, most volunteers do not need to conform their hours to the agency’s office hours. Weekend and evening hours are welcome, though an occasional virtual meeting may be requested during regular business hours.
Volunteer skills:
Seeking students, working professionals, retirees, and others eager to donate their skills and talents to the cause of civic engagement. Helpful skillsets include strong oral and/or written communication, graphic design, video production and editing, or basic computer skills. Don’t see your skillset listed? Tell us what you can do, and we will do our best to match you to an appropriate project.
