Teen Volunteer Program (Ages 14–18)

Want to make a difference and be part of something meaningful? Our Teen Volunteer Program is a chance for high school students to learn, grow, and give back in a caring community. Teens help with things like greeting families at the Welcome Desk, assisting in the kitchen, serving meals, or pitching in on special projects.

To get started, all teen volunteers attend an orientation with a parent or guardian. Afterward, you and your parent can decide together if the program feels like a good fit.
