Get involved

To commemorate California’s 175th anniversary of statehood and the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, California Gives celebrates Californians’ service efforts and offers local opportunities throughout the state for residents to support their communities. California Gives will contribute to America Gives, the largest volunteer effort in history. California Volunteers, Office of the Governor will log collective hours served for 2026 through its service programs and volunteer events and those will be added to the national total. Californians are encouraged to continue serving through the end of 2026, and log their hours at America Gives
