Interested in general volunteering during Rise Up Recovery events? Volunteer roles include set-up/take down, front desk/check-in, food/drink distribution, and other miscellaneous roles based on the needs of the given event.
Interested in supporting individuals through their recovery journey as a CPRS? This volunteer role requires the completion of CCARR Recovery Coach training (through Rise Up or any other company that offers this training/certification). CCARR Training information can be found on Rise Up Recovery's training page of their website. Contact Rise Up Recovery with any additional questions or concerns.
Interested in facilitating recovery meetings, other than SMART Recovery, at the Rise Up Recovery community center? Rise Up Recovery offers recovery meetings 6 days a week and are looking for driven volunteers to facilitate those meetings. Contact Rise Up Recovery for more information.
Interested in volunteering to perform childcare services for Rise Up Recovery and our recovery participants? Rise Up Recovery hosts recovery meetings for the surrounding community and sometimes participants are unable to attend due to their needs for childcare services. We are looking for driven volunteers who would like to assist with childcare during these meetings.
For those of you who may not want to interact with participants or community members, you can instead volunteer to help Rise Up Recovery with the general maintenance of the recovery houses. Projects include gardening, yard work, basic installations/repairs, outdoor clean-up etc. Please contact Rise Up Recovery for more information on potential projects and scheduling opportunities.
Rise Up Recovery offers SMART Recovery meetings every Tuesday night at the community center. This meeting facilitation role requires more intensive training and a formal certification. If you are wanting to facilitate SMART Recovery meetings, you must go to SMART Recovery Training Center: Volunteer Training: GSF 201: Facilitator Training and take the SMART Recovery Facilitator Training course to earn your SMART facilitator certification. NOTE: This training costs $80 to complete.
