Bergen Volunteers

Bergen Volunteers is a Bergen County nonprofit that has provided human-service and training programs since 1966. Its volunteer-driven work supports vulnerable seniors, at-risk youth, and families while creating opportunities for civic leadership, community service, and local collaboration.

Programs include CHEER companionship and wellness visits for homebound older adults, senior home-safety assessments through the Amy and Mark Shirvan Family Senior Safety Initiative, and CHORE maintenance and repair assistance. The organization also highlights youth literacy through Bergen READS, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, and leadership development for local teens.
