We are proud to offer agencies in Madison and Marion county a place to promote their volunteer opportunities!
Agencies can use our platform to find volunteers as well as manage their events and opportunities. Agencies can have volunteers sign up for specific shifts or opportunities in general. Agencies can also collect hours through the HIRTA Helps platform.
In order to reach a wider audience, volunteer opportunities posted on HIRTA Helps are cross posted to Volunteer Iowa's volunteer portal.

Become a HIRTA Helps partner agency!
Partner agencies are public agencies, private non-profit organizations or proprietary health-care agencies that accept the responsibility for assignments and supervision of AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers. Volunteer Stations provide orientation, training, in-service instruction, and other education as needed. HIRTA Helps welcomes conversations with local organizations that are interested in becoming AmeriCorps Seniors volunteer stations. Volunteer Stations agree to abide by all current federal non-discriminatory regulations and be handicap accessible, or provide reasonable accommodations for volunteers.
As a HIRTA Helps partner agency, HIRTA Helps assists with volunteer recruitment. Benefits volunteers can receive while volunteering at a partner agency include mileage reimbursement and supplemental and liability insurance. If your agency is interested in becoming a partner agency, please reach out to HIRTA Helps at volunteer@ridehirta.com
