Your Talents Can Make a Difference at Daily Work

If you’re a human being, you have something to offer the world—and chances are, your unique talents are just what someone else needs. As Arianna Huffington said, “Giving can be as simple as giving joy to others—sharing our talents and skills to help them tap into their own ability to experience wonder.”

At Daily Work, we know employment is more than a paycheck—it’s a path to stability, belonging, and well-being. But no one walks that path alone. For many job seekers, volunteers are a vital part of their support system—offering ideas, crafting résumés, or giving rides to important appointments. Every contribution helps make Daily Work… work!

How can your talents contribute?

1. Start with what you’re good at.

Maybe you’re great at organizing, analyzing data, mentoring, or making people feel welcome. Those everyday strengths could make a real impact.

2. Think about what brings you joy.

Do you enjoy planning events, writing, driving, or working behind the scenes? When you volunteer in ways that light you up, your impact grows.

3. Ask your circle.

Family, friends, and coworkers often see your strengths even when you don’t. Ask them what they think you’re great at—you might discover something new.

4. Learn about community needs.

Daily Work provides holistic employment support—so our volunteer opportunities are just as varied.

5. Find your fit.

Once you know your talents and passions, we can match you with the right role.

Current volunteer opportunities include:

  • Driving people to interviews or appointments
  • Analyzing and improving our data systems
  • Sharing stories and updates through our website and social media
  • Serving on one of our committees—like Steps to Success, DEI, Development, or our Program Committee
  • And many others!

Think about your skills, then give us a call to explore how we can put them to good use.
At Daily Work, there's a place for everyone. Let’s walk this journey together.
