Volunteer Application

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Upstream Access!
Our volunteers bring different experiences, skills, interests, identities, and ways of contributing. There is no one "right" way to volunteer. We want to learn what you enjoy, what works well for you and how we can create a volunteer experience where you feel welcomed and supported.
You do not need previous volunteer experience or emergency preparedness experience to get involved.
