  • Experience Joy: Our volunteers often talk about the joy and fulfillment they gain from working with our community.
  • Grow Together: Volunteering with us is a two-way street. As you give your time and energy, you’ll find yourself growing in understanding, compassion, and faith.

Opportunities for Everyone:

  • Education Volunteer: Assist our Villagers in improving their reading and writing skills. No teaching experience required!
  • Camp Counselor/Nurse/Cook: Play a vital role in our camp sessions, offering care, friendship, and great meals.
  • Event Support: Help us make our fundraising events a success through various roles, from parking to serving food.
  • Friend to the Villagers: Simply spend time with our residents, building meaningful relationships through activities and outings.

What to Expect:

  • Connection: Build lasting bonds with other volunteers, our Villagers, and campers.
  • Spiritual Growth: Engage in meaningful fellowship, reflecting on God’s role in our lives.
