Living Classrooms Foundation could not do the work it does without thousands of committed individual volunteers and a range of student, corporate, and other groups who dedicate their time to supporting our programs. Living Classrooms accepts individual volunteers, interns (including for school credit), and volunteer groups of all ages and sizes – everything from high school student groups to corporate days of service. There are countless ways to engage with the mission of Living Classrooms Foundation.
Volunteer projects for large groups can be customized based on interest, group size, and availability. For information regarding scheduling a group project, setting up an internship, or volunteering/getting involved in any other way, please contact Erin Myers at emyers@livingclassrooms.org or (410) 685-0295 ext. 291
Individual volunteers are required to complete a Volunteer Application and connect with our Volunteer Coordinator prior to service. Once you have completed the application, please contact Erin Myers at emyers@livingclassrooms.org to set up your first volunteer opportunity.

We are proud to engage students in service projects and long-term volunteer efforts in many of our programs. Our “Inspired to Serve” volunteerism program has been established in honor of one of our very dedicated interns, Cara Becker. We hope that by engaging more students like Cara, we can inspire other young people to give back to their communities.
Our hallmark internship opportunity is our Inspired to Serve Summer Internship Program. As part of this program, each intern will have a specific and meaningful project to complete over the course of the summer as well as the opportunity to visit all Living Classrooms programs and shadow specific staff members. This program includes a stipend as well. View our current openings above to learn more about this opportunity.
While we don’t have formal internship programs during the school year, we have a wide variety of needs and opportunities and are happy to customize an internship to meet your requirements.
