Thank You for Your Interest!

We’re so glad you’re interested in volunteering with us!
To help ensure a safe and supportive experience for everyone, all new volunteers complete a few important steps before getting started. This includes submitting an application, reviewing and signing key policies, and completing a fingerprint background check.
The full onboarding process typically takes 1–2 weeks or more, depending on how quickly the required steps are completed. Thank you for your patience and for taking these steps to become part of our volunteer team—we’re excited to connect with you soon! See below for current opportunities.
Note: For Volunteers Under 18: a parent or guardian must accompany during  volunteer hours. Additionally, that parent or guardian must complete the same prescreening process listed above. We ask for a minimum volunteer commitment of 2 weeks or more.
