Welcome 2026!
Dear Volunteers,
We wish you a very happy and healthy New Year! This past year has been a very successful year for our Burbank Volunteer Program. We can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for us. Every year the dedication and devotion our volunteers show never ceases to amaze us. With each new year, we here at BVP strive to make the program better for all of you, and give you all a volunteering program that gives you as much benefit as you give to us. So once again we thank you for sticking by us through another year! On the bottom right on this page you’ll see some statistics about volunteering - we thought you should get a bit more insight to what really drives volunteers to provide the service that they do! With this new year, we plan to carry on with DIG, but we’re also bringing in some more Plant for a Greener Burbank events so make sure to stay up to date with us to get more information for the event.

With a multitude of active volunteer stations, we have something for everyone! Students may need to fulfill hours for a school requirement or they may explore volunteering as a fulfilling experience. Adults and retirees may choose to continue to use their skills and experience to help others. A positive by-product of volunteering is making new friends!
According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau and AmeriCorps over 75.7 million people in the U.S. formally volunteered (helping others through organizations like food banks and other non-profits) between September 2022 and September 2023).
