Community Impact Day

NON-PROFIT OPPORTUNITY

The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce joins the Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce and chamber organizations statewide for Community Impact Day on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. With a goal of mobilizing thousands of volunteers across the state, the initiative is set to turn ripples of service into tidal waves of impact. 

In preparation for the event, the Jackson Chamber is opening the non-profit application for Jackson County non-profits to submit volunteer opportunities. Any local non-profit can apply, understanding Chamber member non-profit organizations will be prioritized when filling a project with volunteers. 

“At the Jackson Chamber, our mission is to create a vibrant, inclusive community, and there is no better way to demonstrate that than by rolling up our sleeves to support our neighbors,” said Ryan Tarrant, President and CEO of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce. “This is a unique opportunity for our businesses to step out of the office and make a tangible difference. We are eager to connect our workforce with the local non-profits that work tirelessly to support our region.” 

Community businesses, teams, and individuals will have a chance to give back in meaningful ways. From hands-on service projects to community clean-ups, there are countless ways for volunteers to make a difference. Nonprofits that serve causes including advocacy & justice; arts, culture & environment; children & family services; community development; diversity, equity & inclusion; education & skills training; faith & spiritual support; health & wellness; youth development or related areas are encouraged to apply. 

To be considered, each organization must complete our online project form — providing a brief description of the volunteer project or tasks, proposed location(s), site-leader contact information, number of volunteers needed per task and any tools or materials volunteers might need. Submitting a request does not guarantee placement or specific volunteer numbers — final participation will be confirmed by the Chamber. 

Non-profits interested in participating can present volunteer opportunities here. Project applications will be accepted until the spaces are filled. 

Although this is the 5th annual Michigan West Coast Chamber Community Impact Day event, this is the first time the Jackson Chamber will be participating.
