Volunteer

Clean water starts closer to home than you think.

Our filters go home with families in eight countries, but much of the work that gets them there happens right here. Give a few hours, a skill or your voice.

Ways to help

Six ways in. Pick what fits your life.

Some roles are in person, some happen from your couch. All of them help a family get clean water. In-person roles are in the Orange County and LA area, the Tahoe, Truckee and Reno area, or close to wherever you live.

Community-led, on purpose

Local leaders do the work on the ground. You make it possible.

In every country where we work, local leaders choose which families receive filters, deliver them and follow up in person. That's why it lasts.

Volunteers here power everything around that work: telling the story, raising support and handling the details behind the scenes.

Help bring clean water home, one family at a time.

“I’ve had the privilege of serving on One ATTA Time’s Board of Directors for the past two years. During a Field Experience, I witnessed firsthand the incredible difference access to clean water through water filters can make for a community. That experience deepened my connection to the mission and inspired me to do even more. When I retired, I saw an opportunity to give back in a greater capacity, using the skills, knowledge, and experience I gained throughout my career to help One ATTA Time expand its impact and change more lives.”
