Celebrate Labor Day by Supporting Nonprofit Employees

These days, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, a day at the beach and barbecues, but it began as a time to honor the achievements and contributions of American workers.

Join us in celebrating Labor Day by supporting the dedicated nonprofit employees serving our communities!

Ninety-two percent of nonprofits report a lack of critical resources and skilled volunteers—like you—can help fill that gap by donating your expertise. You can support nonprofit staff by tackling items on their to-do lists, all while making a difference with a cause you care about!

Finding your favorite cause is easy on Taproot Plus. We offer volunteer opportunities in twenty cause areas, ranging from animals to women’s rights. Here are just a handful:

“Taproot helped me search through a number of organizations to find a cause that really spoke to me and felt meaningful to me and needed my specific skills to help support the good work they are doing,” – Kristin Royer, Taproot volunteer

You can apply for a one-hour Session or multi-week Project—even while lying on the beach!

Taproot thanks workers in all fields and hope you have a relaxing, happy Labor Day!
