Volunteer Your Heart, Your Time, Your Passion

Volunteers help build a handrail at Hope Furnace during Make A Difference Day, 2005.

Service to the community is at the heart of Sojourners, and we depend on volunteers to help us in this mission.  Volunteering for Sojourners is a rewarding and meaningful experience for young people, adults, and seniors.  Volunteers have the unique opportunity to help instill values in youth, become part of a larger family, and create better opportunities for young people in foster care and community youth.  All this, and you will have fun too!

In addition to making a difference in the lives of young people, volunteers have many opportunities for their own personal and professional development through volunteer service at Sojourners.  There are several ways to volunteer your time.

Contribute Your Skill

• Serve on the Sojourners Board of Directors and influence the present and future of our organization
• Share your special skill with our foster care youth or Youthbuild participants in the classroom or through special  trainings or projects
• Volunteer for our construction service projects and help us build a better community for our region’s youth
