Volunteer Opportunities
We depend on our volunteers to help us lead classes, help prepare meals, and bring enthusiasm! By spending time with our clients, they are uplifted and feel a part of the community. Listed below are some opportunities to get involved with.
If you would like to become involved please fill out a volunteer application form, here. All volunteers will need to have a criminal record check and vulnerable sector check which is free with a letter from the Lighthouse.
