VOLUNTEER WITH US
Volunteers play a vital role in achieving our mission. By spending quality time with our youth, tutors and mentors serve as inspiring role models. Through landscaping and painting projects, community groups improve our facilities to create comfortable environments for our childrzen. Whether volunteering as an individual or with a group, our volunteer specialist will match you with an opportunity that fits your schedule and interests.
Mentor a Youth
Develop a meaningful one-on-one relationship with one of our youth. Mentors are encouraged to visit the youth they are paired with regularly in order to provide consistent and reliable support. Common mentor/mentee activities include playing games, playing outside or in the gym, and doing arts/crafts. Mentors must be 21 years of age, submit to a background check and drug screen, attend training and orientation to qualify, as well as make a six month commitment.

Let's Get StartedSpecial Event Volunteers
During the calendar year we host a wide variety of special events. These event volunteers help in a variety of ways — ticket sales, securing auction items, event set up, guest check-in and other activities. Learn more about our events.
Birthday Club
We are seeking groups and/or organizations to providing birthday gifts for all foster care kids for one month. Making a child feel special on their special day is a wonderful gift.
Campus Companions
Campus Companions are groups of fun-loving volunteers who host weekly game nights (Bingo, board games, movie nights, etc.) for youth in our residential treatment services.
Education Tutors
Volunteers can open doors to improved study skills, helping students become life-long learners. Tutors not only offer academic support, but friendships as well. Our most critical need is for tutors to assist current and former foster youth in our Y.E.S. program. All tutors must be 21 years of age, submit to a background check and drug screen, attend training and orientation to qualify, as well as make a six month commitment.
Facility Volunteers
This volunteer opportunity includes helping our hard-working maintenance and housekeeping staff with various tasks, including working in our storage closets, sorting donations, painting and washing windows.
Garden/Horticulture Therapy Volunteers
Designed to help children learn important academic, life and social skills, our horticulture program also serves as a calm getaway and therapy space to foster relationships in a natural setting. We invite groups or individuals to come work alongside our students on various projects. Learn more about our Build Trybe program.
Group Volunteers
Whether your group would like to assist at one of our events, participate in a "work day" on campus, host an activity for the children we serve or sponsor a donation collection, we are happy to welcome you! Volunteer opportunities include everything from helping with the installation of a new playground to planning parties to building cottage benches to sorting/wrapping holiday gifts. The opportunities are endless!
