We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully.

The concept is simple – we volunteer with a different nonprofit organization in Chicago on the second Saturday of every month from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, then spend the afternoon at a local bar for food, drinks, networking and fun with everyone who volunteered. This program was created to give young professionals the opportunity for inspiring, rewarding and impactful experiences that will help forge a passion for future volunteering – both with our organization and on their own. Volunteering Untapped was born out of the realization that young professionals in Chicago want to give back to their community, but simply don’t know the best way to get involved. We solve that problem. Volunteering should be easy. Now it is.
