Volunteer with HRC

Interested in Volunteering with the Human Rights Campaign?

There are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved!

Volunteers are the backbone of HRC, and our volunteers work on the front lines in the fight for LGBTQ equality.

HRC’s powerful network of all-volunteer communities is made up of people from a wide array of backgrounds, experiences, identities, and skill sets. We invest in our volunteers through leadership development and recognition programs, offering workshops, conferences, online resources and support from staff to ensure that our leaders become the strongest and most effective advocates, leaders and fundraisers they can be.

We welcome you to join our movement no matter how much time you are able to give.
