Volunteer, Community Program Partner, Work Study & Internship Information & Application

 

Believe In The Dream and Come Weave Dreams With Us!

We know there are many options to choose from to offer your time and talent to the community. Thank you for choosing the “I Have A Dream” Foundation of Boulder County! We believe effective and successful volunteer management and supervision are essentially about building relationships. It’s about supporting our volunteers and partners with getting a handle on what they are supposed to be doing, communicating when they are doing well, and coaching them and providing direction when they need it.  IHDF volunteers and partners are a key part of our organization. Most volunteers and partners devote their time because they’re motivated by the mission. Therefore, it is important to show we value their time, commitment, and effort. Our ongoing goal is to create a sustainable and impactful program with dedicated systems and processes in place for successfully screening, onboarding, engaging, developing, recognizing,  and offboarding our volunteers and partners.

Although we appreciate the interest shown by each applicant, we cannot guarantee a position for everyone. In this case, your application will be kept active for six months should an opportunity arise that could potentially be a good fit with your experience, skills, and motivation. A team member will contact you if a position more suitable to your skills becomes available.

We are committed to creating welcoming spaces for everyone, embracing identities across ethnicity, gender, disability, and beyond. As a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to this mission, fostering safe and supportive environments while demonstrating your dedication to these values.
