Join the Experience. Volunteer With Us.

Volunteering with Open Door Columbus offers many ways to get involved, whether you’re interested in an individual opportunity, a group service project, or an internship experience. You can join us for a one-time service day, participate in a company give-back event, or choose an ongoing role where you build relationships over time. We also partner with high schools, colleges, universities, and professional training programs to create structured internship opportunities that provide hands-on learning, align with academic goals, and help students meet program requirements. Our opportunities are flexible and designed to match your interests, schedule, and strengths.

No matter how you choose to serve, your time and talents help create meaningful experiences, foster connection, and open doors for individuals with disabilities to explore their interests, engage with their community, and live empowered, fulfilling lives.
