Volunteer With Us

Join us in our mission to pass laws, change practices, and build a movement to promote healthier minds across the lifespan for all Coloradans!

Your Passion is Our Power

For over 70 years, we have been taking Coloradan-informed action to create a Colorado where everyone can thrive. Change doesn’t happen on its own—it is powered by the passion, stories, and dedication of people like you. When you volunteer with Mental Health Colorado, you become a vital part of this legacy. We need you more than ever.

Pass Laws

Your personal story can be the single most persuasive tool we have at the State Capitol.

Change Practices

Help us bring vital education and support into workplaces, schools, and communities.

Build a Movement

You are the movement. Join thousands of fellow advocates to raise awareness and end health-based discrimination.

Choose the Role That’s Right for You

Every person has something meaningful to give, and your time, skills, and voice can make a real difference for health in Colorado. Whether you can offer a few minutes to raise awareness, lend a hand at community events, or share your expertise in a leadership role, there is a place for you here.

Program & Event Corps

I’m interested in providing hands-on support for programs, outreach initiatives (like community events or health fairs), and fundraising events.

Skills-Based & Leadership Cadre

I have professional skills (e.g., graphic design, legal research, grant writing). I’d like to offer high-impact projects, or I am an experienced volunteer interested in a leadership role.

Hear from Our Volunteers

“I have a demanding job and couldn’t commit to regular hours, but the Community Action Network lets me make a difference in just a few minutes. When I get an action alert, I can email my legislator right from my phone. Seeing a bill we advocated for pass into law made me feel like my voice truly mattered.”
— Alex R., Community Action Network Member
“I was nervous about sharing my family’s story, but the ‘Advocacy 101’ training gave me the confidence to do it safely and effectively. Knowing my testimony helped lawmakers understand the real-world impact of their decisions is incredibly empowering. MHC helped me turn my experience into a tool for change.”
— David Chen, Advocacy Storyteller
“Volunteering at the MHC table during a community health fair was an incredible experience. I had so many meaningful conversations with people and could see firsthand how important it is to connect them with resources. It felt great to be on the front lines, representing an organization doing such vital work.”
— Maria G., Program & Event Corps Volunteer
“As a graphic designer, I wanted to use my skills to give back. The skills-based volunteer program allowed me to design an infographic for a critical legislative campaign. It was a project-based commitment that fit my schedule, and it was so rewarding to see my professional expertise directly support MHC’s advocacy at the Capitol.”
— Priya S., Pro Bono Graphic Designer
“Helping with the SAFER initiative has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. It’s not just about organizing supplies; it’s about showing up for people in our community with compassion and support during a critical time. You see the direct, positive impact of your efforts every single shift.”
— Michael B., SAFER Community Support Volunteer
