Volunteering with Simply Living is more than just giving your time. It’s a way to connect with like-minded people who care about sustainability and community; learn skills and deepen your knowledge of simple, ecological living; support local efforts to create a more just, regenerative, and resilient world; earn time credits through our partnership with the Care and Share Time Bank; and be part of something bigger right here in central Ohio.
