VOLUNTEER - Catholic Charities of Oklahoma City relies on the generosity of volunteers to help us help those in need. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities for individuals, families, businesses and groups of all faiths and ages. We work with volunteers to find opportunities that match your skills, talents and interests. Explore the various ways you make a difference in someone’s life and perhaps even your own.
“We feel strongly that giving of our time, talents and treasures to Catholic Charities allows us to reach so many in need throughout the archdiocese that we couldn't help through our local parish. Their staff and the programs they administer touch so many lives with the love of Christ.”
