Volunteer
Six real jobs. Pick one, and we will tell you exactly what it asks of you.
No open-ended 'get involved' form that goes nowhere. Every role below has a named time commitment and someone who will actually follow up with you.
Open roles
What we need right now.
Most of these need no clinical background. Showing up reliably is the qualification.

One day, 2–6 hours
Field Day crew
Setup, teardown, activity stations, greeting families, food service, resource tables.
02
2 hours a month, ongoing
Support group host
Open the room, set out refreshments, welcome people in. No clinical background needed — warmth and reliability are the job.
03

Sit alongside a small group of 14–21 year olds as they build and run their own advocacy project. Background check required.

Grant research & writing
Help us find and apply for the funding that keeps the sliding scale open.
If you give us your name, you get an answer. Within two business days, from a person, telling you what happens next — even if the answer is that we do not need you yet.
What you can expect from us
Volunteering with a small organization usually means one of two experiences: you are handed everything, or you are never called. We are trying to do neither.
Roles that involve unsupervised contact with minors or with clients require a background check, which we pay for. Everything else you can start immediately.
Groups are welcome — church groups, student organizations, workplace teams, Greek life, sports teams. Field Day in particular can absorb a lot of hands at once.
Not sure you can commit?
Field Day crew is a single day, a few hours, done. It is the easiest way to find out whether this is for you.
Have a professional skill?
Grant writing, photography, web work, accounting, legal. Tell us what you do and we will tell you honestly whether we need it.
Represent an organization?
Partnerships, sponsorships, and co-delivered programs are handled separately from individual volunteering.

Tell us what you want to do and when you are actually free.
We will match you to a role and contact you within two business days. If we do not have a good fit yet, we will say that rather than leaving you wondering.
