Your Time Can Transform a Life

Volunteer Opportunities
At Despierta, we believe in the power of people—and some of the most powerful moments in our programs come from the presence of committed, caring volunteers.
Whether you’re mentoring a student, supporting a workshop, or helping us organize community events, your time and skills have the power to create lasting impact in the lives of Latina women and youth across Charlotte.
