Southern Rhode Island Volunteers

Welcome to Southern Rhode Island Volunteers

SRIV is a volunteer movement that is changing lives and meeting critical needs across Southern Rhode Island.

VOLUNTEER DONATE CARE

For over 30 years Southern Rhode Island Volunteers (SRIV) has connected volunteers to opportunities in your community, (Charlestown, East Greenwich, Exeter, Hopkinton, Jamestown, Narragansett, North Kingstown, Richmond, South Kingstown, West Greenwich, and Westerly) making significant impacts in the lives of Rhode Islanders.

There are many needs in our little state, from nutrition support for the frail and elderly (Meals on Wheels), medical transport, friendly visits, disaster preparedness, and helping out in hospitals, schools, or museums. The possibilities for you to enrich your life by helping others are endless! We partner with many other non-profits in Rhode Island to give our volunteers a vast array of opportunities to choose from. All volunteers must register with SRIV before volunteering.

Together, we can touch many lives in Southern Rhode Island. Get involved. Volunteer. Donate. Care.
