National Volunteer Month 2021

Our amazing volunteers help expand the reach of Heartland Alliance into more communities than we could reach alone and contribute profoundly to the scope of services we can offer to our participants. From providing youth mentorship to pulling weeds at our urban farm, to staffing airport information kiosks and ESL classes for newly arrived refugees, our volunteers use their own personal expertise to help us make a difference in thousands of lives.

For 130 years, Heartland Alliance has been serving individuals in transit. Immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, we believe that all people deserve the right to movement – to travel in search of safety and opportunity. Below are two volunteers who support us in that mission. Learn why they believe in service to our newest Americans, and what volunteering means to them, below.
