Helping Change Lives May Change Your Own

Your time and energy can make a real difference in a positive treatment experience.
Are you looking for an incredible, unique, and enriching volunteer experience? By donating your time and skills at Jesus House you may find you are changing your life while helping others change theirs. We can’t thank our volunteers enough and are truly grateful for those who serve with us.
Whether you want to volunteer as an individual, group, business or church, we would love to have you. We also welcome those who are completing court-ordered community service; we are all about second chances.

Volunteer Opportunities

Donation Volunteer

Donation volunteers help us organize, categorize, and care for physical donations. If you have a keen eye for organization or structure, this is the place for you. These donations can include clothes, packaged food items, personal toiletries, and more.

Kitchen & Dining Volunteer

Our kitchen is always a busy place and requires volunteers with high energy. Usually, this is where our most social volunteers thrive. Kitchen and dining volunteers help the day-to-day maintenance and operations of the kitchen and dining room.

Facility & Decor Care Volunteer

Jesus House resides in a historical school building from the 1940s, so we’re always using unique methods to improve and refurbish. These volunteers care for and maintain the facility, grounds, and decor through projects such as refurbishing, painting, and cleaning.

Education Volunteer

Education volunteers may assist with literacy, GED classes, financial management, mentoring, ministry, or sponsorship. Above all else, patience, kindness, and honesty are essential for teaching and fostering those who need it most.

Being a volunteer at Jesus House is eye-opening and rewarding at the same time. It will be busy, rewarding and even challenging, but filled with giving, interacting with others at a personal level, and discovering what it means to be compassionate every day.

Helping wherever help is needed and giving back to others is what being a volunteer at Jesus House is all about. Talking to clients and neighbors has helped me step outside my comfort zone and grow into a more outgoing person.
