Volunteer with Us!

Our Current Volunteer Opportunities:

The Shine Project Foundation could not exist without the help of all our amazing volunteers! Whether you can only volunteer once, or you keep coming back, our team deeply appreciates you!

Our volunteers help us with all our events and programming. Some of our most popular volunteer activities are our annual Good Vibes Reggae-fest and our Beach Fun Day Series. If you have experience or training working with children with special needs, love music and the arts, or always looking for some waves to catch, there is a volunteer event for you! Volunteers do not require any experience or training. All we ask is that you love making a difference in your community and want to see everyone, regardless of their special needs, SHINE!

We have a number of volunteer opportunities for our upcoming program and fundraiser events. Click one of the events below to sign up as a volunteer:
