Often prominent organzations rely on their widespread recognition rather than posting on volunteer recruiting websites.

Many cities have local service clubs that offer community engagement opportunities, such as Rotary Clubs.

• Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne

  Kiwanis clubs and members conduct service projects. They hold fundraisers. They donate to the Kiwanis Children’s Fund. They change children’s lives in their own communities and through international initiatives — helping young people develop mentally, physically and emotionally.

  Every year, Kiwanis members stage more than 1.3 million service projects and raise nearly US$390 million for children, families and communities around the world. Kiwanis club projects are based on the community’s needs — we build playgrounds, purchase medical equipment, stuff backpacks with school supplies, restock libraries and much more. The average Kiwanian makes an impact on the lives of 106 children.

• Rotary Club of Cheyenne

  The Cheyenne Sunrise Rotary Club was chartered September 11th, 2002, exactly a year after the infamous attacks on New York and Washington. A small group of dedicated Rotarians decided Cheyenne needed an alternative to the large Noon Club for those who found it easier to meet in the mornings.

  By having a smaller group, CSR can focus on those projects that serve humanity that are more attuned with our members wishes. Based on a strategic planning session by the membership in 2010, the club’s stated objective is to help children in the Cheyenne community and throughout the world. Every project chosen by the club will be based on a desire to improve children’s lives. Cheyenne Sunrise Rotary is a small, but mighty club, as evidenced by past accomplishments. We get things done!

Many communities rely on grassroots and informal networks to meet urgent needs. There may be opportunities to get involved through mutual aid networks, food distribution efforts, neighborhood action teams, or other groups that aren’t often listed on volunteer platforms.
