Islamic Center of America

Volunteering

Importance of Volunteering

We are welcoming of volunteers and donors. The volunteers are what make ICofA the center of giving, faith and hope. Their efforts support the staff and Imams in reaching out to communities and serving those in need.

We have a variety of opportunities onsite and offsite for individuals or groups who would like to participate. Serving meals, food drive distribution, youth mentoring, tutoring, and cleaning are just a few of the ways a volunteer can participate. Volunteers keep our programs, services, and opportunities going for our men, women, and children. We couldn’t do this without our great volunteers.

  • Help provide, prepare, and/or serve meals in our kitchens
  • Provide mentoring, tutoring for younger kids/students
