Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to volunteer every month?

Nope! We volunteer the second Saturday of every month and are happy to have you when your schedule works out. You can also volunteer without attending the afterparty - you don’t have to attend both!

How do I find out about upcoming events?

We’re so glad you asked - you can check the website, follow us on Instagram (@volunteeringuntapped), follow our Eventbrite page to stay updated, or sign up to receive our newsletters.

Is VU Baltimore free?

  • Volunteering on second Saturdays is free.

  • The Afterparties at bars or restaurants are pay-what-you-eat/drink. Sometimes we get drink specials from our generous Afterparty partners!

Can I just show up to second Saturdays?

We kindly ask that you register through our Eventbrite, many of our events have space limitations.

The Eventbrite says it’s sold out or at capacity, what should I do?

Please join our waitlist! We often have cancellations and if space opens up, you will be notified.

What if I can no longer make it to the second Saturday I signed up for?

You have two options: you can either cancel your registration through Eventbrite or email us at events@volunteeeringuntapped.org

When we donate to VU Baltimore, what are we supporting?

Thank you for your support! You’re helping us fund volunteer projects, marketing initiatives, and support volunteer incentives like welcome snacks & coffee or towards materials for blanket making for our Kennedy Krieger event we do every February.
