Each year, volunteers provide over 5,000 hours of support, at a value of more than $100,000!

We have a wide variety of opportunities to get involved for youth, adults, groups, interns, and court-referred volunteers.

Current Volunteer Opportunities

Market Day Volunteer (Monthly, June-Oct)

Market Days is a Larimer County program connecting lower-income older adults with free, fresh food from the Saturday morning farmers’ market in Fort Collins.

N2N needs one volunteer for the following assistance:

  • Transport an older adult N2N resident in West Fort Collins to and from the market so she can shop for herself.

This commitment is needed one Saturday morning each month (your choice) through the end of October and requires a valid driver’s license and transportation.
