Volunteer Opportunities

The Princess Project offers a range of opportunities to participate.

How Can I Volunteer in San Diego?

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us! Summer volunteer shifts are now available for Dress Store Organization! 


Please note: We love and appreciate the help of our volunteer community; for our Dress Store Organization Days, all volunteers must be over the age of 14+. In addition, this year we have a new platform for volunteer sign-ups; volunteers will need to fill out a waiver each time before you sign-up for dates/times to help. Interested in bringing a group?
