There are literally endless ways to contribute to the GIVE shirt movement as a Volunteer/Intern whenever and wherever you choose.  Additionally, there is always plenty to do at the movement’s headquarters.  We can also use more help at Events listed on this website.

This international grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit organization is entirely run by volunteers, so your participation is needed to keep it going, and especially to allow it to grow.  How are you willing to help us make this world a more giving, and thus happier, healthier, and better place?  Please let us know!  Thank you.

TheGIVEshirt.com, founded in 2007, is an entirely non-profit movement increasing the global consciousness of giving, and donating ALL PROCEEDS to other charities.  The concept is simple:  by wearing shirts printed with the word “give” people think more about giving, and become happier and healthier by giving more.

We seek General Volunteers (about 5 or more hours per month).  We also have various Internships (about 5-20 hours per week) in the areas outlined below.

If you’re not able to contribute at least 5 hours a month, contact us anyway!  There are many things that you can do on your own whenever and from wherever you choose.  Some examples are listed below, and you can do some of these things RIGHT NOW in merely minutes!  Everything you do is immensely appreciated.  Due to the ripple effect, even our smallest actions have potentially limitless effects…
