Advocate

La Cheim advocates are like champions for the agency — cultivating a deep understanding of our nonprofit mission, spreading the word to other interested community members, and looking for ways to help La Cheim advance its own cause. Like an ambassador, our advocates help us connect to fundraising opportunities, expand our referral network, seek new program development and grant-making opportunities, and more. We are happy to customize your involvement to reflect your own interests, talents, and passions. Call us at (510) 223-4236 to learn more about becoming a La Cheim advocate.

Volunteer

Volunteers not only help La Cheim advance our work in the community, but also help us maintain fiscal and operational efficiency. Work can include fundraising, social service tasks, and administrative or programmatic contributions. If you are interested in volunteering your time and talents at La Cheim, give us a call today at (510) 223-4236 to learn more.

Donate

For more than 50 years, La Cheim has been a vital part of the Bay Area’s educational and mental health safety net. COVID, inflation, and more have made it harder than ever to sustain a community organization like ours. Each and every monetary donation we receive helps us both sustain and develop our continuum of care at a time when services are more scarce and hard-to-access than ever. Even a modest contribution can go a long way in helping us support the most marginalized and vulnerable members of the local communities we all share.
