At Casa Pacifica, volunteers are the heart of our mission.
Whether you’re sharing your time on our beautiful Camarillo campus or lending a hand at one of our fun community events, your involvement brings joy to the children, young adults and families we serve.
We welcome people from all walks of life to join our volunteer family — individuals, groups, businesses, students and retirees. Whether you can volunteer once a week or once a year, there’s a place for you at Casa Pacifica!
“My volunteer experience has been so positive. It is very rewarding and good for my soul. I have been doing volunteer work for decades now, and Casa Pacifica has been one of my best experiences. My favorite part of working with the youth and kids is that it gives me energy and makes me feel young again. I hope to stay with Casa Pacifica for many years to come.”
-Charles Medina, Recreational Therapy Volunteer

One-Time Volunteer Opportunities
Not everyone can make a weekly commitment — and that’s okay! From helping at our signature fundraising events to pitching in on special campus projects, we appreciate both one-time and ongoing volunteers.
Event Volunteer Opportunities:
Join us behind the scenes at our popular community events like the Angels Wine, Food & Brew Festival, the Top Chef Yummie Dinner, Angels Spotlight on Style Fashion Show and the Care for Kids Golf Classic.
“Volunteering for the agency has been a wonderful experience. I originally heard about Casa Pacifica from a friend who used to live on the Camarillo campus. She is now earning her master’s degree, thanks to Casa Pacifica! The work done here is invaluable, and I’m proud to play a part in it.”
-Lorie Lang, Angels Wine, Food & Brew Festival Volunteer
