Who Volunteers?
Most of the estimated 300+ volunteers that give their time at Helping Hands and the Thrift Store every year come from our church friends, community organizations and our local universities and high schools. Groups, as well as individuals, are more than welcome to volunteer their time in a variety of ways. Since we serve all teenage boys, we do ask that volunteers only be males just for safety concerns.
How Do I Become A Volunteer?

Volunteer groups will undergo a brief training session on House policies before meeting and interacting with the children.
