VOLUNTEER

We accept individuals who are volunteering to fullfil service hours, including high school and college requirements. Typically, individuals must be age 16 or older to volunteer with House of Hope. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. Youth under age 16 are welcome to volunteer with an adult.

​

As part of our trauma-informed approach, volunteer interaction with clients is limited. If you are seeking opportunities with more direct client engagement, please explore Other Volunteer Opportunities with our community partners. 

​

All prospective volunteers must complete the Individual Volunteer Application and consent to a background check. Approved volunteers must complete Volunteer Forms, including a confidentiality agreement, liability waiver, and emergency contact information. Approved volunteers under age 18 must have a parent or guardian complete the Parent Forms.

​

New ongoing volunteers are required to attend Volunteer Orientation. This session includes an overview of volunteer expectations and client confidentiality, a brief history of House of Hope, a shelter tour and program overview, volunteer opportunities and scheduling, and Q&A.

 

Individuals who need a one-time volunteer experience for an educational requirement should contact engage@houseofhopegb.org. We may be able to accommodate you.
