Volunteer with Hope House
At Hope House, we deeply appreciate those who want to support our mission. Because we provide structured treatment for women and families, our volunteer opportunities are limited to skill-based engagements that directly benefit our participants.
We do not offer traditional, individual volunteer opportunities. Instead, we partner with businesses, organizations, and professionals who can provide meaningful support through structured workshops, education, and mentorship.
Who We Work With
We welcome partnerships with:
- Housing professionals (landlords, property managers, housing navigators)
- Career professionals (job readiness, resume writing, interview coaching)
- Community organizations with expertise in life skills training
- Parenting and childcare educators (car seat safety, infant care, safe sleep practices)
Current Volunteer Opportunities
🏡 Housing Readiness & Tenant Success
Stable housing is one of the biggest challenges our participants face. Volunteers with expertise in affordable housing, rental applications, working with landlords, tenant rights, and home maintenance can make a huge impact.
💼 Career Readiness & Job Skills
We welcome professionals who can provide workshops on resume writing, interview skills, job applications, workplace professionalism, and financial literacy. Practical, beginner-level budgeting is especially helpful.
👶 Parenting & Childcare Education
Parents in our program benefit from education on car seat safety, breastfeeding, safe sleep practices, and childproofing. If you have expertise in these or related areas, we’d love to hear from you.
🍎 Nutrition & Meal Planning
Many of our participants are learning how to cook healthy meals on a tight budget. Volunteers who can teach meal prep, grocery shopping on a budget, and practical nutrition are a great fit.
Note: All donation drives must be hosted off-site.

- Volunteers are required to sign a confidentiality statement and attend a brief HIPAA training session.
- We do not host individual volunteers for general campus activities.
