Volunteering in the Bay Area


Community Information Program (CIP)

The CIP database contains information on health and human service agencies serving San Mateo County and the Bay Area. Fairly extensive descriptions exist for the agencies, including addresses and telephone numbers, but also the names of executive directors, eligibility requirements for service, fees, access by public transportation, wheelchair accessibility into the building, target populations, languages other than English spoken by agency staff, and a narrative description of the services.
