Board Leadership Connection
Metro Volunteers is the only organization in the Denver metro area with a Board Bank program available to all residents within the region. We recruit, train and place qualified individuals who wish to serve on a nonprofit board of directors.

Seminar Series
Nonprofit leaders and staff gain critical and practical skills in the areas of volunteer management and board development. Over 40 workshops are presented each year.

Impact Program
The Impact program plans and manages 35 hands-on service projects each month that connect volunteers to the community and meet critical needs of nonprofit organizations. Projects are scheduled in the evenings and on the weekends; volunteers can participate as little or as often as time allows.

Event Partnership/Sponsorship Opportunities Include:

Annual Celebrity Waiter Dinner
May
Over 300 corporate and community leaders attend this fundraising dinner each year held at the Westin Tabor Center Hotel in downtown Denver. Tables are sponsored by a "Celebrity Waiter" (CEO types), who dress up in their favorite costume and with support of hotel staff, act as the table waiter for their guests. Invited guests tip their waiter throughout the evening and participate in the live and silent auction festivities.

Annual Volunteer Fair on the 16th Street Mall
September
Nearly 30,000 people visit the 16th Street Mall during the Volunteer Fair. The Fair promotes awareness of the vast number of nonprofit organizations in the Denver metro area and educates residents on community programs, services and volunteer opportunities.

Inaugural Volunteer Award Recognition Banquet
September
As the expert resource center on volunteerism in the metro Denver area, we have decided to recognize one person each year that embodies the spirit of volunteerism in the metro Denver area. This event will draw 300 - 400 of the most influential people in the region.

Denver Day of Impact
October
Volunteers from across the Denver metro area will share their time and talents by mending fences, painting shelters, building trails, feeding the hungry, and helping those who need it most. In 2005 Metro Volunteers mobilized 300 individuals for this event including 200 employees from 10 different companies. As a result, 25 volunteer projects were completed at 21 different non-profit agencies with over 1,600 hours of volunteer service given to the local community.
