SRP VOLUNTEERS at work in the community
SRP employees, retirees, families and friends invest time, skills and resources to build stronger Arizona communities.
The SRP VOLUNTEERS program provides our employees with a meaningful experience while helping viable nonprofit organizations address critical community needs.

Nonprofit organizations can submit a volunteer opportunity and request SRP volunteers through our online portal.
SRP VOLUNTEERS can assist nonprofit organizations, events and projects that meet the following guidelines:

SRP employees and retirees, along with their families, who wish to volunteer may register to do so online through the SRP VOLUNTEERS program.
