Our Story

LeRoy Nellis
Founder & Executive Director
Give Back To America
LeRoy Nellis founded Give Back To America out of a deeply held belief that every American has the capacity — and the responsibility — to strengthen the communities around them. His vision was simple but powerful: remove the barriers between willing volunteers and the non-profit organizations that need them most.
With decades of experience in community organizing and civic engagement, LeRoy witnessed firsthand how fragmented the volunteer landscape had become. Organizations struggled to find consistent help, while countless Americans who wanted to give back had no clear path to do so. Give Back To America was built to bridge that gap — one volunteer, one opportunity at a time.
Under his leadership, the organization has grown into a nationwide platform connecting volunteers with opportunities in student mentoring, food recovery, senior care, environmental stewardship, housing support, and more — spanning all 50 states.
