Celebrating Our Volunteers
Volunteer Appreciation Celebration 🎉
Join us for our annual Volunteer Appreciation Celebration on Wednesday, September 20th between 2 pm - 3 pm, as we recognize dedicated Berkeley Lab volunteers at this event! The program will be held in the 50A Auditorium with refreshments at the conclusion of the program. Virtual attendees will be able to join via Zoom.
Help Us Change The World One Hour At A Time
Berkeley Lab’s Government and Community Relations Office launched a service portal that offers Lab employees an easy way to learn about, choose, and sign up for volunteer opportunities in the community and with Lab-sponsored K-12 programs.
The portal is well-aligned with the Lab’s commitment to public service, a core value of our stewardship campaign. Employees who sign up for an account are helping to provide vital support to people, organizations, and communities in need, while also helping raise the visibility of the Lab and strengthening our reputation as a good neighbor and responsible community institution.

Interested in volunteering?
Hear from recent Lab volunteers about why they do it, how volunteering helps our community, and the intangible gifts volunteers receive in return.
Read how one of the Lab’s volunteers, Molecular Foundry postdoc Mina Kim, recounts her beliefs about the benefits of volunteering.
Jessica Puente Castro has only been at the Lab for six months, but she’s already found her happy places: the Bay Area outdoor scene and volunteering.
Stay Current
Stay up-to-date on opportunities by tuning in to our new virtual webinar, Community Connections Lunch Hour. This monthly series hosted by Berkeley Lab’s Government and Community Relations Office, provides opportunities for Lab employees to learn how they can support outreach activities in our surrounding communities.
Each month’s session will feature informational talks by GCR staff or partnering organizations focused on current activities, the importance of the work our partners are doing in the community, and how you can help support their missions. These sessions are meant to be interactive, and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the speakers.
