Volunteer Today!

Damien Center relies on hundreds of volunteers to meet our mission of empowering those affected by HIV/AIDS and preventing the spread of HIV in our community. Some volunteers perform regularly scheduled jobs like working in the food pantry or at the testing reception desk. Others serve as special event volunteers or assemble outreach kits for our team to pass out in the community. Volunteers also teach employment, legal, and life skills to clients.

Each of our volunteers brings an enthusiasm for our community and a desire to make a difference in our mission to end HIV in Central Indiana. Find out more about how you can join in by learning more about our volunteer opportunities and experiences.

Our agency is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to otherwise qualified individuals with disabilities, which may include providing reasonable accommodation where appropriate. If you need additional accommodations or directions for accessible entrances, you can contact Ceven Webb. We do our best to create an inclusive space and will try to accommodate you as best we can.

What is CERVIS?

CERVIS is the volunteer management software we use at Damien Center. We ask that every volunteer agrees to use our CERVIS platform to the best of their ability. This is where we list new opportunities, track volunteer hours, and keep volunteer records.
