Single Volunteers San Diego (SVSD) is a not-for-profit organization of single people who want to meet other singles while volunteering around San Diego County.
HOW DO I MEET OTHER SINGLES?
1) Attend the social events. At the social events you get to see who else is single and likes volunteering. Then you can see if you have similar interests in volunteering and volunteer together. Or just know who else is a volunteer and meet them at volunteering opportunities.
2) Volunteer. For most events sign-up is on our Event Calendar and you can see who else is volunteering. Then make a point of meeting them at the volunteering opportunity.
WHO DO WE VOLUNTEER FOR?
We have assisted Racelegal.com, SAYS, Stand Up For Kids, MDA, San Diego Audubon Society and many more organizations. Please click here to see a list of past events.
As volunteer opportunities occur, we post them on our Events Calendar and email our membership (most, but not all the time). Most volunteer activities involve a small number of volunteers at a time, however, we do get calls for large numbers for major fund-raising events.
Ongoing Volunteer Needs: If an organization has an ongoing need for volunteers that is posted separately at Ongoing Volunteers Needed.

SINGLES SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
SINGLES PARTIES/MEETINGS
The people in this group have three things in common to start-off with: they are single, in the San Diego area, and like to volunteer! That's a good start.
We try to have at least one singles event every month. The parties are normally planned for the 3rd Saturday of the month at various places around San Diego County.
The parties are Friday nights or on Saturday because members are all over the county and with traffic the way it is ... well those are the best times for a relaxing fun time!
Social events have a fee associated with them, normally from $5 - $15. Social Event fees are not-refundable, but may be applied to the next event if the event needs to be cancelled.
SINGLES TRAVEL
Also, we now have Singles Trips! A company that puts together 40 trips a year for singles has included us in their sources for singles. If you pick a trip because you like it, the people you meet on the trip will have that in common with you and also be single! Another great way to meet! Click here for information on singles trips.
