Volunteer opportunities in Bergen County
3 opportunities
Bergen County Animal Shelter & Adoption Center
The county animal shelter in Teterboro. Volunteers walk dogs and socialize cats, which improves the animals' quality of life in the shelter and helps them build the behaviors they need to be adopted. No prior experience is required. The shelter does not publish a minimum volunteer age — email or call before applying to confirm whether they take volunteers your age.
Community FoodBank of New Jersey — Garfield
The Garfield location of New Jersey's largest food bank. Volunteers help with shelving and checkout support at the community food pantry here, rather than the warehouse sorting done in Hillside. All volunteers must be 12 or older, and volunteers aged 12 to 15 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or chaperone. Book a shift in advance through the volunteer portal — walk-ins are not accepted.
Glen Rock Public Library — Teen Volunteers
Teen volunteers here take on book reviewing and blogging, shelf reading, and homework tutoring, plus a Summer Volunteer Program and the Teen Advisory Board. Open to Glen Rock students in grades 6 through 12. Complete the GRPL Teen Volunteer Application, then sign up for the specific activities you want.
