Welcome Hastings Insurance Employees!

We’re excited to support your passion for giving back. This page is your guide to finding meaningful volunteer opportunities right in your own backyard through Ways to Connect and help focus your collective impact.

What is Ways to Connect?

Ways to Connect is a community-powered platform designed to help people find meaningful ways to get involved in their local communities.

Volunteering & giving back is not one-size-fits-all. Ways to Connect makes it easy to discover the right pathway to making an impact that matches your interests and availability.

On your city’s Ways to Connect Community Page, you’ll find:

  • Local nonprofits, categorized by causes
  • Local volunteer opportunity platforms (similar to job boards, but for volunteer needs)
  • Grassroots organizations, mutual aid groups, service clubs and similar groups
