There are many opportunities to get involved as a volunteer at Opportunity Enterprises. We look for exceptional people to help with clients, clerical assistance and special events.

Whether you are looking for a one-time event or an on-going commitment, we work hard at making a perfect match – for our volunteers and our clients – to create a meaningful experience for all.

In seeking the perfect match we start the volunteering process by asking all volunteers to complete an application. Once paperwork is processed and approved, you will then be invited to take a tour of the agency. We work hard to find the right fit and to welcome you as a part of our team.

There are special events that provide one-time commitments and we also have on-going, regularly scheduled commitments for volunteers.

Our special events are a lot of fun, a great way to help out and even a time for friends to get together to help a great cause.

Our largest one-day event is our Pack-A-Thon. Held each September we pull together 800+ volunteers to pack the 45,000 bags for The Bank of America Chicago Marathon. This event is great for groups and individuals alike.

For more information, contact our volunteer coordinator, Cathy Kuchenmeister at cathy.kuchenmeister@oppent.org, or call her at 219-464-9621, Ext. 283 to sign up.
