Volunteer Opportunities

We have a number of opportunities for families, children and adults.  We also assist many students with their service hours requirements. Volunteers of all ages are able to help with:  sorting donations, purchasing socks and underwear, setting up the beds, and other pre-opening duties such as kitchen preparation.  

Children must be at least 12 years old and be joined with their parent if serving food or being at the site between 7 pm and 7 am.  Read the Youth Volunteer Policy.

Dinner service begins at 7 pm and ends around 8:30 pm. Breakfast is served at 6 to 7 am.

Overnight shifts are available for those over 18 years old and run in four hour shifts beginning at 11 pm through 7 am.  We require two men and two women be at the site at any given time during the overnight shifts.

We have availability for musicians to come and play for the guests, hair cuts, art classes and other items that may be helpful or entertaining.  

If you have an idea and would like to contribute during the social time of 8 to 9:30 pm, please let us know!  

Additionally, we are looking for some handy people or professional trades to help with site improvements during the month of September.  Please contact us if you have talents you wish to donate!
