Volunteer

We have supported hundreds of single parents, and even more children, with our program, but the truth is we couldn’t do it without volunteers.

Want to support us with your time and skills? We are always happy to find people who desire to help us execute our mission. Our community is filled with intelligent, talented, resourceful individuals, and we look forward to meeting you.

We are sure you will find something you would love to help with, but if you don’t see anything that fits you, reach out to us via email at applications@hopbe.org.

How Can I Help?

As a small and growing organization, volunteers are always useful. If you have great administrative skills, are a design professional, love to tutor children, or like to help with creative projects, you can be of great use to Team HOPE.

Let us know what you’re good at and we’ll let you know how you can help.

Most of our administrative volunteer opportunities are for adults 18 and older, and some may require background checks. However, there are opportunities for teens and younger kids to support our mission, like at our 5K event. Teens make great social media ambassadors and children 13 and under can manage a refreshments table very well.
